Psalms 146

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

My soul, praise the Lord.

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

I will praise the Lord, while I live; I will sing to my God, while I am.

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

Put not your trust in princes mortals, in whom is no help.

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

When their breath goes out, they go back to the dust: on that very day their purposes perish.

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

Happy those whose help is the God of Jacob: whose hope is set on the Lord their God,

6 Making the heavens and earth, The sea and all that [is] in them, Who is keeping truth for all time,

the Creator of heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them. He remains eternally loyal.

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

For the wronged he executes justice; he gives bread to the hungry; the Lord releases 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 gives sight to the blind: the Lord raises those who are bowed. The Lord loves 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 preserves the stranger, upholds the widow and orphan, but the wicked he leads to disaster.

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

The Lord shall reign forever, your God, O Zion, to all generations. Hallelujah.
