Psalms 146
1 Praise ye Yah, Praise, O my soul, Yahweh.
Let the Lord be praised. Give praise to the Lord, O my soul.
2 I will praise Yahweh while I live! I will make melody to my God while I continue!
While I have breath I will give praise to the Lord: I will make melody 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 faith in rulers, or in the son of man, in whom there is no salvation.
4 His spirit, goeth forth, he returneth to his ground, In that very day, his thoughts perish.
Man's breath goes out, he is turned back again to dust; in that day all his purposes come to an end.
5 How happy is he that hath the GOD of Jacob as his help, whose hope, is on Yahweh his God: —
Happy is the man who has the God of Jacob for his help, 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:
Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all things in them; who keeps faith for ever:
7 Who executeth justice for the oppressed, who giveth food to the famishing, Yahweh, who liberateth prisoners;
Who gives their rights to those who are crushed down; and gives food to those who are in need of it: the Lord makes the prisoners free;
8 Yahweh, who opened [the eyes of] the blind, Yahweh, who raiseth the prostrate, Yahweh, who loveth the righteous;
The Lord makes open the eyes of the blind; the Lord is the lifter up of those who are bent down; the Lord is a lover of the upright;
9 Yahweh, who preserveth sojourners, The fatherless and widows, he relieveth, —but, the way of the lawless, he overturneth.
The Lord takes care of those who are in a strange land; he gives help to the widow and to the child who has no father; but he sends destruction on the way of sinners.
10 Yahweh, will reign, to times age-abiding, Thy God, O Zion, to generation after generation. Praise ye Yah!
The Lord will be King for ever; your God, O Zion, will be King through all generations. Praise be to the Lord.
