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 in them 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 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 upholdeth 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, thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD.
