< Psalms 146 >
1 Praise ye Jah! Praise, O my soul, Jehovah.
Hallelujah. Praise, O my soul, the Lord.
2 I praise Jehovah during my life, I sing praise to my God while I exist.
I will praise the Lord throughout my life: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.
3 Trust not in princes — in a son of man, For he hath no deliverance.
Put not your trust in princes, in the 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.
When his spirit goeth forth, he returneth to his [native] earth: on that very day perish his thoughts.
5 O the happiness of him Who hath the God of Jacob for his help, His hope [is] on Jehovah his God,
[But] happy is he who hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is on 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 hath made heaven, and 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 justice for the oppressed: who giveth bread to the hungry: the Lord looseneth 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,
The Lord causeth the blind to see; the Lord raiseth up those who are bowed down; the Lord 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.
The Lord guardeth the strangers; the fatherless and widow he helpeth up; but the way of the wicked he maketh crooked.
10 Jehovah doth reign to the age, Thy God, O Zion, to generation and generation, Praise ye Jah!
The Lord will reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Hallelujah.
