Psalms 146

1Hallelujah! Praise Jehovah, O my soul.

1Alleluia. Praise ye the Lord, because psalm is good: to our God be joyful and comely praise.

2 As long as I live will I praise Jehovah; I will sing psalms unto myGod while I have my being.

2The Lord buildeth up Jerusalem: he will gather together the dispersed of Israel.

3 Put not confidence in nobles, in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation.

3Who healeth the broken of heart, and bindeth up their bruises.

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

4Who telleth the number of the stars: and calleth them all by their names.

5 Blessed is he who hath theGod of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Jehovah hisGod,

5Great is our Lord, and great is his power: and of his wisdom there is no number.

6 Who made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is therein; who keepeth truth for ever;

6The Lord lifteth up the meek, and bringeth the wicked down even to the ground.

7 Who executeth judgment for the oppressed, who giveth bread to the hungry. Jehovah looseth the prisoners;

7Sing ye to the Lord with praise: sing to our God upon the harp.

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

8Who covereth the heaven with clouds, and prepareth rain for the earth. Who maketh grass to grow on the mountains, and herbs for the service of men.

9 Jehovah preserveth the strangers; he lifteth up the fatherless and the widow; but the way of the wicked doth he subvert.

9Who giveth to beasts their food: and to the young ravens that call upon him.

10 Jehovah will reign for ever, [even] thyGod, O Zion, from generation to generation. Hallelujah!

10He shall not delight in the strength of the horse: nor take pleasure in the legs of a man.

11(not in this translation)

11The Lord taketh pleasure in them that fear him: and in them that hope in his mercy.
