Psalms 146

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

PRAISE ye the Lord. Praise the Lord, O my soul.

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 unto 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 princes, 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 goeth forth, he returneth 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 that hath the God of Jacob for his help, 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,

Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever:

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

Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The Lord 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,

The Lord openeth the eyes of the blind: the Lord raiseth them that are bowed down: the Lord 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.

The Lord preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.

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 Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the Lord.
