Psalms 146

1 Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD, my soul.

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

2 While I live, I will 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 Do not put your trust in princes, in a son of man in whom there is no help.

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

4 His spirit departs, and he returns to the earth. In that very day, his thoughts perish.

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

5 Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, 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 that is in them; who keeps truth forever;

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

7 who executes justice for the oppressed; who gives food to the hungry. The LORD frees the prisoners.

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

8 The LORD opens the eyes of the blind. The LORD raises up those who are bowed down. The LORD loves the righteous.

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 The LORD preserves the foreigners. He upholds the fatherless and widow, but he turns the way of the wicked upside down.

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 will reign forever; your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise the LORD!

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