Psalms 146

1 Praise Yahweh. Praise Yahweh, my soul.

Praise ye Jah! Praise, O my soul, Jehovah.

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

I praise Jehovah 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.

Trust not in princes — in a son of man, For he hath no deliverance.

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

His spirit goeth forth, he returneth to his earth, In that day have his thoughts perished.

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

O the happiness of him Who hath the God of Jacob for his help, His hope [is] on Jehovah his God,

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 to the age,

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.

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

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

Jehovah is preserving the strangers, The fatherless and widow He causeth to stand, And the way of the wicked He turneth upside down.

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

Jehovah doth reign to the age, Thy God, O Zion, to generation and generation, Praise ye Jah!
