Psalms 146

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

Praise ye Yah, Praise, O my soul, Yahweh.

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

I will praise Yahweh while I live! I will make melody to my God while I continue!

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

Do not ye trust in nobles, in a son of man who hath no deliverance:

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

His spirit, goeth forth, he returneth to his ground, In that very day, his thoughts perish.

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

How happy is he that hath the GOD of Jacob as his help, whose hope, is on Yahweh his God: —

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

Who made The heavens and the earth, The sea and all that is therein, Who keepeth faithfulness to times age-abiding:

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

Who executeth justice for the oppressed, who giveth food to the famishing, Yahweh, who liberateth prisoners;

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

Yahweh, who opened [the eyes of] the blind, Yahweh, who raiseth the prostrate, Yahweh, who loveth the righteous;

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

Yahweh, who preserveth sojourners, The fatherless and widows, he relieveth, —but, the way of the lawless, he overturneth.

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

Yahweh, will reign, to times age-abiding, Thy God, O Zion, to generation after generation. Praise ye Yah!
