Psalms 146

1 Praise all of you the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul.

Halleluyah ·praise Yah·! Praise Adonai, my soul.

2 While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.

While I live, I will praise Adonai. I will sing zahmar ·musical praise· to my God as long as I exist.

3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

Don’t put your trust in princes, each a son of man in whom there is no help.

4 His breath goes forth, he returns to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.

His spirit departs, and he teshuvah ·completely returns· to the earth. In that very day, his thoughts perish.

5 Happy is he that has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God:

Happy is he who has the God of Jacob [Supplanter] for his help, whose hope is in Adonai, his God:

6 Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keeps truth for ever:

who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them; who keeps truth forever;

7 Which executes judgment for the oppressed: which gives food to the hungry. The LORD looses the prisoners:

who executes mishpat ·justice· for the oppressed; who gives food to the hungry. Adonai frees the prisoners.

8 The LORD opens the eyes of the blind: the LORD raises them that are bowed down: the LORD loves the righteous:

Adonai opens the eyes of the blind. Adonai raises up those who are bowed down. Adonai 'ahav ·affectionately loves· the upright.

9 The LORD perserves the strangers; he relieves the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turns upside down.

Adonai preserves the foreigners. He upholds the fatherless and widow, but the way of the wicked he turns upside down.

10 The LORD shall reign for ever, even your God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise all of you the LORD.

Adonai will reign forever; your God, O Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking], to all generations. Halleluyah ·praise Yah·!
