Psalms 146

1 Alleluia, [a Psalm] of Aggaeus and Zacharias. My soul, praise the Lord.

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

2 While I live will I praise the Lord: I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.

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

3 Trust not in princes, nor in the children of men, in whom there is no safety.

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

4 His breath shall go forth, and he shall return to his earth; in that day all his thoughts shall perish.

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

5 Blessed is he whose helper is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord his God:

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

6 who made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all things in them: who keeps truth for ever:

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

7 who executes judgment for the wronged: who gives food to the hungry. The Lord looses the fettered ones:

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

8 the Lord gives wisdom to the blind: The Lord sets up the broken down: the Lord loves the righteous: the Lord preserves the strangers;

Jehovah is loosing the prisoners, Jehovah is opening (the eyes of) the blind, Jehovah is raising the bowed down, Jehovah is loving the righteous,

9 he will relieve the orphan and widow: but will utterly remove the way of sinners.

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

10 The Lord shall reign for ever, [even] thy God, O Sion, to all generations.

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