Psalms 146

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

Alleluia, [a Psalm] of Aggaeus and Zacharias. My soul, praise the Lord.

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 as long as I exist.

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

Trust not in princes, nor in the children of men, in whom there is no safety.

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

His breath shall go forth, and he shall return to his earth; in that day all his thoughts shall 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 helper 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:

who made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all things in them: who keeps truth for ever:

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

who executes judgment for the wronged: who gives food to the hungry. The Lord looses the fettered ones:

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

the Lord gives wisdom to the blind: The Lord sets up the broken down: the Lord loves the righteous: the Lord preserves the strangers;

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

he will relieve the orphan and widow: but will utterly remove 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 shall reign for ever, [even] your God, O Sion, to all generations.
