Psalms 146 — Side by side (ASV, WEB, BBE, YLT)

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

1Let the Lord be praised. Give praise to the Lord, O my soul.

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

2While I live will I praise Jehovah: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.

2While I have breath I will give praise to the Lord: I will make melody to my God while I have my being.

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

3Put not your trust in princes, Nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

3Put not your faith in rulers, or in the son of man, in whom there is no salvation.

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

4His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; In that very day his thoughts perish.

4Man's breath goes out, he is turned back again to dust; in that day all his purposes come to an end.

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

5Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, Whose hope is in Jehovah his God:

5Happy is the man who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God:

5O the happiness of him Who hath the God of Jacob for his help, His hope <FI>is<Fi> on Jehovah his God,

6Who made heaven and earth, The sea, and all that in them is; Who keepeth truth for ever;

6Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all things in them; who keeps faith for ever:

6Making the heavens and earth, The sea and all that <FI>is<Fi> in them, Who is keeping truth to the age,

7Who executeth justice for the oppressed; Who giveth food to the hungry. Jehovah looseth the prisoners;

7Who gives their rights to those who are crushed down; and gives food to those who are in need of it: the Lord makes the prisoners free;

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

8Jehovah openeth the eyes of the blind; Jehovah raiseth up them that are bowed down; Jehovah loveth the righteous;

8The Lord makes open the eyes of the blind; the Lord is the lifter up of those who are bent down; the Lord is a lover of the upright;

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

9Jehovah preserveth the sojourners; He upholdeth the fatherless and widow; But the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.

9The Lord takes care of those who are in a strange land; he gives help to the widow and to the child who has no father; but he sends destruction on the way of sinners.

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

10Jehovah will reign for ever, Thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye Jehovah.

10The Lord will be King for ever; your God, O Zion, will be King through all generations. Praise be to the Lord.

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