Psalms 146

1 Praise Yahweh. Praise Yahweh, my soul.

Alleluia, of Aggeus and Zacharias.

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

Praise the Lord, O my soul, in my life I will praise the Lord: I will sing to my God as long as I shall be. Put not your trust in princes:

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

In the children of men, in whom there is no salvation.

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

His spirit shall go forth, and he shall return into his earth: in that day all their thoughts shall perish.

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

Blessed is he who hath the God of Jacob for his helper, whose hope is in the Lord 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 things that are in them.

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

Who keepeth truth for ever: who executeth judgment for them that suffer wrong: who giveth food to the hungry. The Lord looseth them that are fettered:

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

The Lord enlighteneth the blind. The Lord lifteth up them that are cast down: the Lord loveth the just.

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

The Lord keepeth the strangers, he will support the fatherless and the widow: and the ways of sinners he will destroy.

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

The Lord shall reign for ever: thy God, O Sion, unto generation and generation.
