Psalms 146

1 Praise ye Yah, Praise, O my soul, Yahweh.

Hallelujah! Praise the LORD, O my soul.

2 I will praise Yahweh while I live! I will make melody to my God while I continue!

I will praise the LORD all my life; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.

3 Do not ye trust in nobles, in a son of man who hath no deliverance:

Put not your trust in princes, in mortal man, who cannot save.

4 His spirit, goeth forth, he returneth to his ground, In that very day, his thoughts perish.

When his spirit departs, he returns to the ground; on that very day his plans perish.

5 How happy is he that hath the GOD of Jacob as his help, whose hope, is on Yahweh his God: —

Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD his God,

6 Who made The heavens and the earth, The sea and all that is therein, Who keepeth faithfulness to times age-abiding:

the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them. He remains faithful forever.

7 Who executeth justice for the oppressed, who giveth food to the famishing, Yahweh, who liberateth prisoners;

He executes justice for the oppressed and gives food to the hungry. The LORD sets the prisoners free,

8 Yahweh, who opened [the eyes of] the blind, Yahweh, who raiseth the prostrate, Yahweh, who loveth the righteous;

the LORD opens the eyes of the blind, the LORD lifts those who are weighed down, the LORD loves the righteous.

9 Yahweh, who preserveth sojourners, The fatherless and widows, he relieveth, —but, the way of the lawless, he overturneth.

The LORD protects foreigners; He sustains the fatherless and the widow, but the ways of the wicked He frustrates.

10 Yahweh, will reign, to times age-abiding, Thy God, O Zion, to generation after generation. Praise ye Yah!

The LORD reigns forever, your God, O Zion, for all generations. Hallelujah!
