Psalms 146

1Hallelujah! Praise Jehovah, O my soul.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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