Psalms 146

1 Praise Yahweh. Praise Yahweh, my soul.

Praise Yah. Praise Yhwh, 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 Yhwh: 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 Yhwh his God:

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

Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever:

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

Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. Yhwh looseth the prisoners:

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

Yhwh openeth the eyes of the blind: Yhwh raiseth them that are bowed down: Yhwh loveth the righteous:

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

Yhwh preserveth the strangers; he relieveth 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.

Yhwh shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Hallelu jah.
