Psalms 146

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

Praise ye the LORD! Praise the LORD, O my soul!

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

I will praise the LORD, as long as I live; I will sing praises to my God, while I have my 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 is no help!

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

His breath goeth forth; he returneth to the dust; In that very day his plans perish.

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

Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help; Whose hope is in 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 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 judgment for the oppressed; Who giveth food to the hungry. The LORD setteth free the prisoners;

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

The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind; The LORD raiseth up them that 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 preserveth the strangers; He relieveth the fatherless and the widow; 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 shall reign for ever; Thy God, O Zion! to all generations! Praise ye the LORD!
