Psalms 146

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

5 Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, Whose hope is in Jehovah his God:

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

6 Who made heaven and earth, The sea, and all that in them is; Who keepeth truth for ever;

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

7 Who executeth justice for the oppressed; Who giveth food to the hungry. Jehovah looseth the prisoners;

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

8 Jehovah openeth [the eyes of] the blind; Jehovah raiseth up them that are bowed down; Jehovah loveth the righteous;

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

9 Jehovah preserveth the sojourners; He upholdeth the fatherless and widow; But the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.

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

10 Jehovah will reign for ever, Thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye Jehovah.

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