Psalms 146

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

Alleluia, of Aggeus and Zacharias.

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

Praise the Lord, O my soul, in my life I will praise the Lord: I will sing to my God as long as I shall be. Put not your trust in princes:

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

In the children of men, in whom there is no salvation.

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

His spirit shall go forth, and he shall return into his earth: in that day all their thoughts shall 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 helper, whose hope is in the Lord 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 heaven and earth, the sea, and all things that are in them.

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

Who keepeth truth for ever: who executeth judgment for them that suffer wrong: who giveth food to the hungry. The Lord looseth them that are fettered:

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,

The Lord enlighteneth the blind. The Lord lifteth up them that are cast down: the Lord loveth the just.

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

The Lord keepeth the strangers, he will support the fatherless and the widow: and the ways of sinners he will destroy.

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

The Lord shall reign for ever: thy God, O Sion, unto generation and generation.
