Psalms 146
[1] Praise Yah!
Praise Yahweh, my soul.
[2] While I live, I will praise Yahweh.
I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.
[3] Don’t put your trust in princes,
in a son of man in whom there is no help.
[4] His spirit departs, and he returns to the earth.
In that very day, his thoughts perish.
[5] Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help,
whose hope is in Yahweh, his God,
[6] who made heaven and earth,
the sea, and all that is in them;
who keeps truth forever;
[7] who executes justice for the oppressed;
who gives food to the hungry.
Yahweh frees the prisoners.
[8] Yahweh opens the eyes of the blind.
Yahweh raises up those who are bowed down.
Yahweh loves the righteous.
[9] Yahweh preserves the foreigners.
He upholds the fatherless and widow,
but he turns the way of the wicked upside down.
[10] Yahweh will reign forever;
your God, O Zion, to all generations.
Praise Yah!
Praise Yahweh, my soul.
[2] While I live, I will praise Yahweh.
