< Psalms 146 >
1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul.
Praise YAH! Praise, O my soul, YHWH.
2 While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.
I praise YHWH during my life, I sing praise to my God while I exist.
3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the 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 breath goeth forth, he returneth to his 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 Happy is he that hath 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 Which made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is; which keepeth truth for ever:
Making the heavens and earth, The sea and all that [is] in them, Who is keeping truth for all time,
7 Which executeth judgment for the oppressed; which giveth food to the hungry: the LORD looseth the prisoners;
Doing judgment for the oppressed, Giving bread to the hungry.
8 The LORD openeth [the eyes of] the blind; the LORD raiseth up them that are bowed down; the LORD loveth 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 preserveth the strangers; he upholdeth the fatherless and widow; but the way of the wicked he turneth 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 shall reign for ever, thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD.
YHWH reigns for all time, Your God, O Zion, to generation and generation, Praise YAH!
