Psalms 146

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

My soul, praise the Lord.

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

I will praise the Lord, while I live; I will sing to my God, while I am.

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

Put not your trust in princes mortals, in whom is no help.

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

When their breath goes out, they go back to the dust: on that very day their purposes perish.

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

Happy those whose help is the God of Jacob: whose hope is set on the Lord their God,

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

the Creator of heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them. He remains eternally loyal.

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

For the wronged he executes justice; he gives bread to the hungry; the Lord releases 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 gives sight to the blind: the Lord raises those who are bowed. The Lord loves 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 preserves the stranger, upholds the widow and orphan, but the wicked he leads to disaster.

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

The Lord shall reign forever, your God, O Zion, to all generations. Hallelujah.
