< Psalms 146 >

1 Praise ye Yah, Praise, O my soul, Yahweh.
My soul, praise 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, while I live; I will sing to my God, while I am.
3 Do not ye trust in nobles, in a son of man who hath no deliverance:
Put not your trust in princes mortals, in whom is no help.
4 His spirit, goeth forth, he returneth to his ground, In that very day, his thoughts perish.
When their breath goes out, they go back to the dust: on that very day their purposes perish.
5 How happy is he that hath the GOD of Jacob as his help, whose hope, is on Yahweh his God: —
Happy those whose help is the God of Jacob: whose hope is set on the Lord their God,
6 Who made The heavens and the earth, The sea and all that is therein, Who keepeth faithfulness to times age-abiding:
the Creator of heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them. He remains eternally loyal.
7 Who executeth justice for the oppressed, who giveth food to the famishing, Yahweh, who liberateth prisoners;
For the wronged he executes justice; he gives bread to the hungry; the Lord releases the prisoners.
8 Yahweh, who opened [the eyes of] the blind, Yahweh, who raiseth the prostrate, Yahweh, who loveth the righteous;
The Lord gives sight to the blind: the Lord raises those who are bowed. The Lord loves the righteous.
9 Yahweh, who preserveth sojourners, The fatherless and widows, he relieveth, —but, the way of the lawless, he overturneth.
The Lord preserves the stranger, upholds the widow and orphan, but the wicked he leads to disaster.
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, to all generations. Hallelujah.
