Psalms 146

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

Alleluia, of Aggeus and Zacharias.

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

Praise the Lord, O my soul, in my life I will praise the Lord: I will sing to my God as long as I shall be. Put not your trust in princes:

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

In the children of men, in whom there is no salvation.

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

His spirit shall go forth, and he shall return into his earth: in that day all their 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 who hath the God of Jacob for his helper, 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 that are in them.

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

Who keepeth truth for ever: who executeth judgment for them that suffer wrong: who giveth food to the hungry. The Lord looseth them that are fettered:

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 enlighteneth the blind. The Lord lifteth up them that are cast down: the Lord loveth the just.

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

The Lord keepeth the strangers, he will support the fatherless and the widow: and the ways of sinners he will destroy.

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

The Lord shall reign for ever: thy God, O Sion, unto generation and generation.
