Psalms 146

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

Alleluia, [a Psalm] of Aggaeus and Zacharias. My soul, praise the Lord.

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

While I live will I praise the Lord: I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.

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

Trust not in princes, nor in the children of men, in whom there is no safety.

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

His breath shall go forth, and he shall return to his earth; in that day all his thoughts shall perish.

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

Blessed is he whose helper is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord 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 things in them: who keeps truth for ever:

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

who executes judgment for the wronged: who gives food to the hungry. The Lord looses the fettered ones:

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,

the Lord gives wisdom to the blind: The Lord sets up the broken down: the Lord loves the righteous: the Lord preserves the strangers;

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

he will relieve the orphan and widow: but will utterly remove the way of sinners.

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

The Lord shall reign for ever, [even] thy God, O Sion, to all generations.
