Psalms 146

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

1Hallelujah! Praise Jehovah, O my soul.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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