< Psalms 146 >
1 Praise YAH! Praise, O my soul, YHWH.
Hallelujah! Praise Jehovah, O my soul.
2 I praise YHWH during my life, I sing praise to my God while I exist.
As long as I live will I praise Jehovah; I will sing psalms unto my God while I have my being.
3 Do not trust in princes—in a son of man, For he has no deliverance.
Put not confidence in nobles, in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation.
4 His spirit goes forth, he returns to his earth, In that day his thoughts have perished.
His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his purposes 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 who hath 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 the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is therein; who keepeth truth for ever;
7 Doing judgment for the oppressed, Giving bread to the hungry.
Who executeth judgment for the oppressed, who giveth bread to the hungry. Jehovah looseth 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 openeth [the eyes of] the blind; Jehovah raiseth up them that are bowed down; Jehovah loveth 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 preserveth the strangers; he lifteth up the fatherless and the widow; but the way of the wicked doth he subvert.
10 YHWH reigns for all time, Your God, O Zion, to generation and generation, Praise YAH!
Jehovah will reign for ever, [even] thy God, O Zion, from generation to generation. Hallelujah!
