Psalms 146

1 Praise Yahweh. Praise Yahweh, my soul.

Praise ye Yah, Praise, O my soul, Yahweh.

2 I give praise to Yahweh with all my life; I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.

I will praise Yahweh while I live! I will make melody to my God while I continue!

3 Do not put your trust in princes or in mankind, in whom there is no salvation.

Do not ye trust in nobles, in a son of man who hath no deliverance:

4 When a person's life's breath stops, he returns to the ground; on that day his plans end.

His spirit, goeth forth, he returneth to his ground, In that very day, his thoughts perish.

5 Blessed is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Yahweh his God.

How happy is he that hath the GOD of Jacob as his help, whose hope, is on Yahweh his God: —

6 Yahweh made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them; he observes trustworthiness forever.

Who made The heavens and the earth, The sea and all that is therein, Who keepeth faithfulness to times age-abiding:

7 He executes justice for the oppressed and gives food to the hungry. Yahweh frees the prisoners;

Who executeth justice for the oppressed, who giveth food to the famishing, Yahweh, who liberateth prisoners;

8 Yahweh opens the eyes of the blind; Yahweh raises up those who are bowed down; Yahweh loves the righteous people.

Yahweh, who opened [the eyes of] the blind, Yahweh, who raiseth the prostrate, Yahweh, who loveth the righteous;

9 Yahweh protects the foreigners in the land; he lifts up the fatherless and widow, but he opposes the wicked.

Yahweh, who preserveth sojourners, The fatherless and widows, he relieveth, —but, the way of the lawless, he overturneth.

10 Yahweh will reign forever, your God, Zion, for all generations. Praise Yahweh.

Yahweh, will reign, to times age-abiding, Thy God, O Zion, to generation after generation. Praise ye Yah!
