Psalms 146

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

Praise YAH! Praise, O my soul, YHWH.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

YHWH is loosing the prisoners, YHWH is opening (the eyes of) the blind, YHWH is raising the bowed down, YHWH is loving 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 is preserving the strangers, He causes the fatherless and widow to stand, And He turns the way of the wicked upside down.

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

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