Psalms 146

1 Praise the LORD. Praise the LORD, my soul.

Praise ye YHWH. Praise YHWH, O my soul.

2 While I live, I will praise the LORD. I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.

While I live will I praise YHWH: I will sing praises unto my Elohim while I have any being.

3 Do not put your trust in princes, each a son of man in whom there is no help.

Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

4 His spirit departs, and he returns to the earth. In that very day, his thoughts perish.

His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.

5 Blessed is the one who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God,

Joyful is he that hath the El of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in YHWH his Elohim:

6 who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them; who keeps truth forever;

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

7 who executes justice for the oppressed; who gives food to the hungry. The LORD frees the prisoners.

Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. YHWH looseth the prisoners:

8 The LORD opens the eyes of the blind. The LORD raises up those who are bowed down. The LORD loves the righteous.

YHWH openeth the eyes of the blind: YHWH raiseth them that are bowed down: YHWH loveth the righteous:

9 The LORD preserves the foreigners. He upholds the fatherless and widow, but the way of the wicked he turns upside down.

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

10 The LORD will reign forever; your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise the LORD.

YHWH shall reign for ever, even thy Elohim, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye YHWH.
