< Psalms 146 >

1 Praise ye Yah, Praise, O my soul, Yahweh.
Praise you the LORD. Praise 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 live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises to my God while I have any being.
3 Do not ye trust in nobles, in a son of man who hath no deliverance:
Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.
4 His spirit, goeth forth, he returneth to his ground, In that very day, his thoughts perish.
His breath goes forth, he returns to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.
5 How happy is he that hath the GOD of Jacob as his help, whose hope, is on Yahweh his God: —
Happy is he that 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:
Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keeps truth for ever:
7 Who executeth justice for the oppressed, who giveth food to the famishing, Yahweh, who liberateth prisoners;
Which executes judgment for the oppressed: which gives food to the hungry. The LORD looses the prisoners:
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 raises them that are bowed 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 preserves the strangers; he relieves the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turns upside down.
10 Yahweh, will reign, to times age-abiding, Thy God, O Zion, to generation after generation. Praise ye Yah!
The LORD shall reign for ever, even your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise you the LORD.
