Psalms 146

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

Alleluia. Of Haggai and Zachariah.

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

Praise the Lord, O my soul. I will praise the Lord with my life. I will sing psalms to my God as long as I shall be. Do not trust in the leaders,

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

in the sons of men, in whom there is no salvation.

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

His spirit will depart, and he will return to his earth. In that day, all their thoughts will perish.

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

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

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

who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all the things that are in them.

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

He preserves the truth forever. He executes judgment for those who suffer injury. He provides food for the hungry. The Lord releases those who are bound.

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

The Lord enlightens the blind. The Lord sets upright those who have been thrown down. The Lord loves the just.

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

The Lord watches over new arrivals. He will support the orphan and the widow. And he will destroy the ways of sinners.

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

The Lord shall reign forever: your God, O Zion, from generation to generation.
