Psalms 146

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

Praise ye Jah! Praise, O my soul, Jehovah.

2 While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.

I praise Jehovah 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.

Trust not in princes — in a son of man, For he hath no deliverance.

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

His spirit goeth forth, he returneth to his earth, In that day have his thoughts perished.

5 Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God:

O the happiness of him Who hath the God of Jacob for his help, His hope [is] on Jehovah his God,

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 to the age,

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;

Jehovah is loosing the prisoners, Jehovah is opening (the eyes of) the blind, Jehovah is raising the bowed down, Jehovah 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.

Jehovah is preserving the strangers, The fatherless and widow He causeth to stand, And the way of the wicked He turneth upside down.

10 The LORD shall reign for ever, thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD.

Jehovah doth reign to the age, Thy God, O Zion, to generation and generation, Praise ye Jah!
