Psalms 146

1 Praise Yahweh. Praise Yahweh, my soul.

Praise ye Jehovah. Praise Jehovah, O my soul.

2 I give praise to Yahweh with all my life; I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.

While I live will I praise Jehovah: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.

3 Do not put your trust in princes or in mankind, in whom there is no salvation.

Put not your trust in princes, Nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

4 When a person's life's breath stops, he returns to the ground; on that day his plans end.

His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; In that very day his thoughts perish.

5 Blessed is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Yahweh his God.

Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, Whose hope is in Jehovah his God:

6 Yahweh made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them; he observes trustworthiness forever.

Who made heaven and earth, The sea, and all that in them is; Who keepeth truth for ever;

7 He executes justice for the oppressed and gives food to the hungry. Yahweh frees the prisoners;

Who executeth justice for the oppressed; Who giveth food to the hungry. Jehovah looseth the prisoners;

8 Yahweh opens the eyes of the blind; Yahweh raises up those who are bowed down; Yahweh loves the righteous people.

Jehovah openeth [the eyes of] the blind; Jehovah raiseth up them that are bowed down; Jehovah loveth the righteous;

9 Yahweh protects the foreigners in the land; he lifts up the fatherless and widow, but he opposes the wicked.

Jehovah preserveth the sojourners; He upholdeth the fatherless and widow; But the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.

10 Yahweh will reign forever, your God, Zion, for all generations. Praise Yahweh.

Jehovah will reign for ever, Thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye Jehovah.
