< Psalms 146 >

1 Praise ye Yah, Praise, O my soul, Yahweh.
Hallelujah. Praise, O my soul, the Lord.
2 I will praise Yahweh while I live! I will make melody to my God while I continue!
I will praise the Lord throughout my life: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.
3 Do not ye trust in nobles, in a son of man who hath no deliverance:
Put not your trust in princes, in the son of man, in whom there is no salvation.
4 His spirit, goeth forth, he returneth to his ground, In that very day, his thoughts perish.
When his spirit goeth forth, he returneth to his [native] earth: on that very day perish his thoughts.
5 How happy is he that hath the GOD of Jacob as his help, whose hope, is on Yahweh his God: —
[But] happy is he who hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is on the Lord his God;
6 Who made The heavens and the earth, The sea and all that is therein, Who keepeth faithfulness to times age-abiding:
Who hath made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that is therein; who keepeth truth for ever;
7 Who executeth justice for the oppressed, who giveth food to the famishing, Yahweh, who liberateth prisoners;
Who executeth justice for the oppressed: who giveth bread to the hungry: the Lord looseneth the prisoners;
8 Yahweh, who opened [the eyes of] the blind, Yahweh, who raiseth the prostrate, Yahweh, who loveth the righteous;
The Lord causeth the blind to see; the Lord raiseth up those who are bowed down; the Lord loveth the righteous:
9 Yahweh, who preserveth sojourners, The fatherless and widows, he relieveth, —but, the way of the lawless, he overturneth.
The Lord guardeth the strangers; the fatherless and widow he helpeth up; but the way of the wicked he maketh crooked.
10 Yahweh, will reign, to times age-abiding, Thy God, O Zion, to generation after generation. Praise ye Yah!
The Lord will reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Hallelujah.
