Psalms 146

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

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

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

While I live, I will praise Adonai. I will sing zahmar ·musical praise· to my God as long as I exist.

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

Don’t put your trust in princes, each a son of man in whom there is no help.

4 His spirit, goeth forth, he returneth to his ground, 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 How happy is he that hath the GOD of Jacob as his help, whose hope, is on Yahweh 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 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 in them; who keeps truth forever;

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

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

8 Yahweh, who opened [the eyes of] the blind, Yahweh, who raiseth the prostrate, Yahweh, who 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 Yahweh, who preserveth sojourners, The fatherless and widows, he relieveth, —but, the way of the lawless, he overturneth.

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

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

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