Psalms 146
1 Praise Yahweh! With my whole inner being I will praise Yahweh.
Praise ye the Lord. Praise thou the Lord, O my soule.
2 I will praise Yahweh as long as I am alive; I will sing to praise my God for [the rest of] my life.
I will prayse the Lord during my life: as long as I haue any being, I wil sing vnto my God.
3 [You people], do not trust in your leaders; do not trust humans because they cannot save/rescue you [from your difficulties/problems].
Put not your trust in princes, nor in the sonne of man, for there is none helpe in him.
4 And when they die, their corpses [decay and] become soil again. After they die, they can no longer do the things that they planned to do.
His breath departeth, and he returneth to his earth: then his thoughtes perish.
5 But those whose helper is the God whom Jacob [worshiped] are happy. The one whom they confidently expect [to help them] is Yahweh, their God.
Blessed is he, that hath the God of Iaakob for his helpe, whose hope is in the Lord his God.
6 He is the one who created heaven and the earth and the oceans and all [the creatures] that are in them. He always does what he has promised to do.
Which made heauen and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth his fidelitie for euer:
7 He decides matters fairly for those who are (treated unfairly/oppressed), and he provides food for those who are hungry. He frees those who are in prison.
Which executeth iustice for the oppressed: which giueth bread to the hungry: the Lord loseth the prisoners.
8 Yahweh enables those who are blind to see again. He lifts up those who have fallen down. He loves righteous [people].
The Lord giueth sight to the blinde: the Lord rayseth vp the crooked: the Lord loueth the righteous.
9 Yahweh takes care of those from other countries who live in our land, and he helps widows and orphans. But he gets rid of wicked [people].
The Lord keepeth the strangers: he relieueth the fatherlesse and widowe: but he ouerthroweth the way of the wicked.
10 Yahweh will [continue to] be our king forever; you people of Israel, your God will rule forever! Praise Yahweh!
The Lord shall reigne for euer: O Zion, thy God endureth from generation to generation. Prayse ye the Lord.
