Psalms 146

1 Hallelujah. Praise, O my soul, the Lord.

Praise YAH! Praise, O my soul, YHWH.

2 I will praise the Lord throughout my life: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.

I praise YHWH during my life, I sing praise to my God while I exist.

3 Put not your trust in princes, in the son of man, in whom there is no salvation.

Do not trust in princes—in a son of man, For he has no deliverance.

4 When his spirit goeth forth, he returneth to his [native] earth: on that very day perish his thoughts.

His spirit goes forth, he returns to his earth, In that day his thoughts have perished.

5 [But] happy is he who hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is on the Lord his God;

O the blessedness of him Who has the God of Jacob for his help, His hope [is] on his God YHWH,

6 Who hath made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that is therein; who keepeth truth for ever;

Making the heavens and earth, The sea and all that [is] in them, Who is keeping truth for all time,

7 Who executeth justice for the oppressed: who giveth bread to the hungry: the Lord looseneth the prisoners;

Doing judgment for the oppressed, Giving bread to the hungry.

8 The Lord causeth the blind to see; the Lord raiseth up those who are bowed down; the Lord loveth the righteous:

YHWH is loosing the prisoners, YHWH is opening (the eyes of) the blind, YHWH is raising the bowed down, YHWH is loving the righteous,

9 The Lord guardeth the strangers; the fatherless and widow he helpeth up; but the way of the wicked he maketh crooked.

YHWH is preserving the strangers, He causes the fatherless and widow to stand, And He turns the way of the wicked upside down.

10 The Lord will reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Hallelujah.

YHWH reigns for all time, Your God, O Zion, to generation and generation, Praise YAH!
