Psalms 146

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

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

2 I praise Jehovah during my life, I sing praise to my God while 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 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 is no help!

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

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

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

Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help; 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 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 food to the hungry. The LORD setteth free 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 openeth the eyes of the blind; The LORD raiseth up them that 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 preserveth the strangers; He relieveth the fatherless and the widow; 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 shall reign for ever; Thy God, O Zion! to all generations! Praise ye the LORD!
