Psalms 146

1 Praise ye Jah! Praise, O my soul, Jehovah.

Praise all of you the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul.

2 I praise Jehovah during my life, I sing praise to my God while I exist.

While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.

3 Trust not in princes — in a son of man, For he hath no deliverance.

Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

4 His spirit goeth forth, he returneth to his earth, In that day have his thoughts perished.

His breath goes forth, he returns to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.

5 O the happiness of him Who hath the God of Jacob for his help, His hope [is] on Jehovah his God,

Happy is he that has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God:

6 Making the heavens and earth, The sea and all that [is] in them, Who is keeping truth to the age,

Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keeps truth for ever:

7 Doing judgment for the oppressed, Giving bread to the hungry.

Which executes judgment for the oppressed: which gives food to the hungry. The LORD looses the prisoners:

8 Jehovah is loosing the prisoners, Jehovah is opening (the eyes of) the blind, Jehovah is raising the bowed down, Jehovah is loving the righteous,

The LORD opens the eyes of the blind: the LORD raises them that are bowed down: the LORD loves the righteous:

9 Jehovah is preserving the strangers, The fatherless and widow He causeth to stand, And the way of the wicked He turneth upside down.

The LORD perserves the strangers; he relieves the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turns upside down.

10 Jehovah doth reign to the age, Thy God, O Zion, to generation and generation, Praise ye Jah!

The LORD shall reign for ever, even your God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise all of you the LORD.
