< Psalms 146 >

1 Praise all of you the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul.
Praise ye Jah! Praise, O my soul, Jehovah.
2 While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.
I praise Jehovah during my life, I sing praise to my God while I exist.
3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.
Trust not in princes — in a son of man, For he hath no deliverance.
4 His breath goes forth, he returns to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.
His spirit goeth forth, he returneth to his earth, In that day have his thoughts perished.
5 Happy is he that has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God:
O the happiness of him Who hath the God of Jacob for his help, His hope [is] on Jehovah his God,
6 Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keeps truth for ever:
Making the heavens and earth, The sea and all that [is] in them, Who is keeping truth to the age,
7 Which executes judgment for the oppressed: which gives food to the hungry. The LORD looses the prisoners:
Doing judgment for the oppressed, Giving bread to the hungry.
8 The LORD opens the eyes of the blind: the LORD raises them that are bowed down: the LORD loves the righteous:
Jehovah is loosing the prisoners, Jehovah is opening (the eyes of) the blind, Jehovah is raising the bowed down, Jehovah is loving 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 is preserving the strangers, The fatherless and widow He causeth to stand, And the way of the wicked He turneth upside down.
10 The LORD shall reign for ever, even your God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise all of you the LORD.
Jehovah doth reign to the age, Thy God, O Zion, to generation and generation, Praise ye Jah!
