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.

While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises to 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, [nor] in the son of man, in whom [there 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 his earth; in that very day his thoughts 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] in them: 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 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,

The LORD openeth [the eyes of] the blind: the LORD raiseth 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 widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.

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, to all generations. Praise ye the LORD.
