Psalms 146

1 Praise YAH! Praise, O my soul, YHWH.

Praise ye Jehovah. Praise Jehovah, O my soul.

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

While I live I will praise Jehovah. I will sing praises to my God while I have any being.

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

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

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

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

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

Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Jehovah his God,

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

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

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

who executes justice for the oppressed, who gives food to the hungry. Jehovah releases the prisoners.

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

Jehovah opens the eyes of the blind. Jehovah raises up those who are bowed down. Jehovah loves the righteous.

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

Jehovah preserves the sojourners. He upholds the fatherless and widow. But the way of the wicked he turns upside down.

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

Jehovah will reign forever, thy God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise ye Jehovah.
