Psalms 146

1 Praise ye YHWH. Praise YHWH, O my soul.

2 While I live will I praise YHWH: I will sing praises unto my Elohim while I have any being.

3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.

5 Joyful is he that hath the El of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in YHWH his Elohim:

6 Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever:

7 Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. YHWH looseth the prisoners:

8 YHWH openeth the eyes of the blind: YHWH raiseth them that are bowed down: YHWH loveth the righteous:

9 YHWH preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.

10 YHWH shall reign for ever, even thy Elohim, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye YHWH.
