Psalms 146

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

Hallelujah! Praise Jehovah, O my soul.

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

As long as I live will I praise Jehovah; I will sing psalms unto my God while I have my being.

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

Put not confidence in nobles, in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation.

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

His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his purposes perish.

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

Blessed is he who hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Jehovah his God,

6 Making the heavens and earth, The sea and all that [is] in them, Who is keeping truth to the age,

Who made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is therein; who keepeth truth for ever;

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

Who executeth judgment for the oppressed, who giveth bread to the hungry. Jehovah looseth the prisoners;

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

Jehovah openeth [the eyes of] the blind; Jehovah raiseth up them that are bowed down; Jehovah loveth the righteous;

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

Jehovah preserveth the strangers; he lifteth up the fatherless and the widow; but the way of the wicked doth he subvert.

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

Jehovah will reign for ever, [even] thy God, O Zion, from generation to generation. Hallelujah!
