< Psalms 146 >

1 Praise all of you the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul.
Hallelujah! Praise Jehovah, O my soul.
2 While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.
As long as I live will I praise Jehovah; I will sing psalms unto my God while I have my being.
3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.
Put not confidence in nobles, in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation.
4 His breath goes forth, he returns to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.
His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his purposes perish.
5 Happy is he that has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God:
Blessed is he who hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Jehovah his God,
6 Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keeps truth for ever:
Who made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is therein; who keepeth truth for ever;
7 Which executes judgment for the oppressed: which gives food to the hungry. The LORD looses the prisoners:
Who executeth judgment for the oppressed, who giveth bread to the hungry. Jehovah looseth the prisoners;
8 The LORD opens the eyes of the blind: the LORD raises them that are bowed down: the LORD loves the righteous:
Jehovah openeth [the eyes of] the blind; Jehovah raiseth up them that are bowed down; Jehovah loveth the righteous;
9 The LORD perserves the strangers; he relieves the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turns upside down.
Jehovah preserveth the strangers; he lifteth up the fatherless and the widow; but the way of the wicked doth he subvert.
10 The LORD shall reign for ever, even your God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise all of you the LORD.
Jehovah will reign for ever, [even] thy God, O Zion, from generation to generation. Hallelujah!
