Psalms 146

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

Halleluyah ·praise Yah·! Praise Adonai, my soul.

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

While I live, I will praise Adonai. I will sing zahmar ·musical praise· 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.

Don’t put your trust in princes, each a 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.

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

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

Happy is he who has the God of Jacob [Supplanter] for his help, whose hope is in Adonai, 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 that is in them; who keeps truth forever;

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

who executes mishpat ·justice· for the oppressed; who gives food to the hungry. Adonai frees the prisoners.

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

Adonai opens the eyes of the blind. Adonai raises up those who are bowed down. Adonai 'ahav ·affectionately loves· the upright.

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

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

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

Adonai will reign forever; your God, O Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking], to all generations. Halleluyah ·praise Yah·!
