Psalms 146

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

הַֽלְלוּ־יָ֡הּ הַלְלִ֥י נַ֝פְשִׁ֗י אֶת־יְהוָֽה׃

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

אֲהַלְלָ֣ה יְהוָ֣ה בְּחַיָּ֑י אֲזַמְּרָ֖ה לֵֽאלֹהַ֣י בְּעֹודִֽי׃

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

אַל־תִּבְטְח֥וּ בִנְדִיבִ֑ים בְּבֶן־אָדָ֓ם ׀ שֶׁ֤אֵֽין לֹ֥ו תְשׁוּעָֽה׃

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

תֵּצֵ֣א ר֭וּחֹו יָשֻׁ֣ב לְאַדְמָתֹ֑ו בַּיֹּ֥ום הַ֝ה֗וּא אָבְד֥וּ עֶשְׁתֹּנֹתָֽיו׃

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

אַשְׁרֵ֗י שֶׁ֤אֵ֣ל יַעֲקֹ֣ב בְּעֶזְרֹ֑ו שִׂ֝בְרֹ֗ו עַל־יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהָֽיו׃

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

עֹשֶׂ֤ה ׀ שָׁ֘מַ֤יִם וָאָ֗רֶץ אֶת־הַיָּ֥ם וְאֶת־כָּל־אֲשֶׁר־בָּ֑ם הַשֹּׁמֵ֖ר אֱמֶ֣ת לְעֹולָֽם׃

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

עֹשֶׂ֤ה מִשְׁפָּ֨ט ׀ לָעֲשׁוּקִ֗ים נֹתֵ֣ן לֶ֭חֶם לָרְעֵבִ֑ים יְ֝הוָ֗ה מַתִּ֥יר אֲסוּרִֽים׃

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,

יְהוָ֤ה ׀ פֹּ֘קֵ֤חַ עִוְרִ֗ים יְ֭הוָה זֹקֵ֣ף כְּפוּפִ֑ים יְ֝הוָ֗ה אֹהֵ֥ב צַדִּיקִֽים׃

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

יְהוָ֤ה ׀ שֹׁ֘מֵ֤ר אֶת־גֵּרִ֗ים יָתֹ֣ום וְאַלְמָנָ֣ה יְעֹודֵ֑ד וְדֶ֖רֶךְ רְשָׁעִ֣ים יְעַוֵּֽת׃

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

יִמְלֹ֤ךְ יְהוָ֨ה ׀ לְעֹולָ֗ם אֱלֹהַ֣יִךְ צִ֭יֹּון לְדֹ֥ר וָדֹ֗ר הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃
