Psalms 146

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

Hallelujah! Praise Jehovah, O my soul.

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

As long as I live will I praise Jehovah; I will sing psalms unto my God while I have my being.

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

Put not confidence in nobles, in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation.

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 purposes perish.

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

Blessed is he who hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Jehovah his God,

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

Who made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is therein; who keepeth truth for ever;

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

Who executeth judgment for the oppressed, who giveth bread to the hungry. Jehovah 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.

Jehovah openeth [the eyes of] the blind; Jehovah raiseth up them that are bowed down; Jehovah 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.

Jehovah preserveth the strangers; he lifteth up the fatherless and the widow; but the way of the wicked doth he subvert.

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

Jehovah will reign for ever, [even] thy God, O Zion, from generation to generation. Hallelujah!
