< Psalms 146 >

1 Praise ye Yah, Praise, O my soul, Yahweh.
Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul.
2 I will praise Yahweh while I live! I will make melody to my God while I continue!
While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.
3 Do not ye trust in nobles, in a son of man who 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 ground, In that very day, his thoughts perish.
His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.
5 How happy is he that hath the GOD of Jacob as his help, whose hope, is on Yahweh his God: —
Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God:
6 Who made The heavens and the earth, The sea and all that is therein, Who keepeth faithfulness to times age-abiding:
Which made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is; which keepeth truth for ever:
7 Who executeth justice for the oppressed, who giveth food to the famishing, Yahweh, who liberateth prisoners;
Which executeth judgment for the oppressed; which giveth food to the hungry: the LORD looseth the prisoners;
8 Yahweh, who opened [the eyes of] the blind, Yahweh, who raiseth the prostrate, Yahweh, who loveth the righteous;
The LORD openeth [the eyes of] the blind; the LORD raiseth up them that are bowed down; the LORD loveth the righteous;
9 Yahweh, who preserveth sojourners, The fatherless and widows, he relieveth, —but, the way of the lawless, he overturneth.
The LORD preserveth the strangers; he upholdeth the fatherless and widow; but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.
10 Yahweh, will reign, to times age-abiding, Thy God, O Zion, to generation after generation. Praise ye Yah!
The LORD shall reign for ever, thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD.
