Psalms 146

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

1Hallelujah! Praise Jehovah, O my soul.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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