Psalms 146

1 Praise Yahweh. Praise Yahweh, my soul.

Praise YAH! Praise, O my soul, YHWH.

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

I praise YHWH during my life, I sing praise to my God while I exist.

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

Do not trust in princes—in a son of man, For he has no deliverance.

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

His spirit goes forth, he returns to his earth, In that day his thoughts have perished.

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

O the blessedness of him Who has the God of Jacob for his help, His hope [is] on his God YHWH,

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

Making the heavens and earth, The sea and all that [is] in them, Who is keeping truth for all time,

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

Doing judgment for the oppressed, Giving bread to the hungry.

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

YHWH is loosing the prisoners, YHWH is opening (the eyes of) the blind, YHWH is raising the bowed down, YHWH is loving the righteous,

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

YHWH is preserving the strangers, He causes the fatherless and widow to stand, And He turns the way of the wicked upside down.

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

YHWH reigns for all time, Your God, O Zion, to generation and generation, Praise YAH!
