Psalms 146

1 Praise Yah! Praise Yahweh, my soul.

Praise ye the LORD! Praise the LORD, O my soul!

2 While I live, I will praise Yahweh. I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.

I will praise the LORD, as long as I live; I will sing praises to my God, while I have my being.

3 Don’t put your trust in princes, in a son of man in whom there is no help.

Put not your trust in princes, In the son of man, in whom is no help!

4 His spirit departs, and he returns to the earth. In that very day, his thoughts perish.

His breath goeth forth; he returneth to the dust; In that very day his plans perish.

5 Happy 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 the LORD, his God;

6 who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them; who keeps truth forever;

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

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

Who executeth judgment for the oppressed; Who giveth food to the hungry. The LORD setteth free the prisoners;

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

The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind; The LORD raiseth up them that are bowed down; The LORD loveth the righteous.

9 Yahweh preserves the foreigners. He upholds the fatherless and widow, but he turns the way of the wicked upside down.

The LORD preserveth the strangers; He relieveth the fatherless and the widow; But the way of the wicked he maketh crooked.

10 Yahweh will reign forever; your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise Yah!

The LORD shall reign for ever; Thy God, O Zion! to all generations! Praise ye the LORD!
