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.

I will praise the LORD, as long as I live; I will sing praises to 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 your trust in princes, In the son of man, in whom 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 the dust; In that very day his plans 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,

Who made heaven and 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 food to the hungry. The LORD setteth free 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 up 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 the widow; But the way of the wicked he maketh crooked.

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 Zion! to all generations! Praise ye the LORD!
