Psalms 146

1Praise ye the Lord. Praise the Lord, O my soul.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

5Happy is he that hath 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,

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

6Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which 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,

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

7Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The Lord looseth the prisoners:

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

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

8The Lord openeth the eyes of the blind: the Lord raiseth them that are bowed down: the Lord 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,

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.

9The Lord preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.

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

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

10The Lord shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the Lord.

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

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

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