Psalm 146 (WEBP)
[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!

Psalm 146 (KJVS)
[1] Praise H1984 (8761) ye the Lord. H3050 Praise H1984 (8761) the Lord, H3068 O my soul. H5315
[2] While I live H2416 will I praise H1984 (8762) the Lord: H3068 I will sing praises H2167 (8762) unto my God H430 while I have any being.
[3] Put not your trust H982 (8799) in princes, H5081 [nor] in the son H1121 of man, H120 in whom [there is] no help. H8668
[4] His breath H7307 goeth forth, H3318 (8799) he returneth H7725 (8799) to his earth; H127 in that very day H3117 his thoughts H6250 perish. H6 (8804)
[5] Happy H835 [is he] that [hath] the God H410 of Jacob H3290 for his help, H5828 whose hope H7664 [is] in the Lord H3068 his God: H430
[6] Which made H6213 (8802) heaven, H8064 and earth, H776 the sea, H3220 and all that therein [is]: which keepeth H8104 (8802) truth H571 for ever: H5769
[7] Which executeth H6213 (8802) judgment H4941 for the oppressed: H6231 (8803) which giveth H5414 (8802) food H3899 to the hungry. H7457 The Lord H3068 looseth H5425 (8688) the prisoners: H631 (8803)
[8] The Lord H3068 openeth H6491 (8802) [the eyes of] the blind: H5787 the Lord H3068 raiseth H2210 (8802) them that are bowed down: H3721 (8803) the Lord H3068 loveth H157 (8802) the righteous: H6662
[9] The Lord H3068 preserveth H8104 (8802) the strangers; H1616 he relieveth H5749 (8766) the fatherless H3490 and widow: H490 but the way H1870 of the wicked H7563 he turneth upside down. H5791 (8762)
[10] The Lord H3068 shall reign H4427 (8799) for ever, H5769 [even] thy God, H430 O Zion, H6726 unto all H1755 generations. H1755 Praise H1984 (8761) ye the Lord. H3050
Young’s Literal Translation
Psalm 146 (YLT)
[1] Praise ye Jah! Praise, O my soul, Jehovah.
[2] I praise Jehovah during my life, I sing praise to my God while I exist.
[3] Trust not in princes-in a son of man, For he hath no deliverance.
[4] His spirit goeth forth, he returneth to his earth, In that day have his thoughts perished.
[5] O the happiness of him Who hath the God of Jacob for his help, His hope is on Jehovah his God,
[6] Making the heavens and earth, The sea and all that is in them, Who is keeping truth to the age,
[7] Doing judgment for the oppressed, Giving bread to the hungry.
[8] Jehovah 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 is preserving the strangers, The fatherless and widow He causeth to stand, And the way of the wicked He turneth upside down.
[10] Jehovah doth reign to the age, Thy God, O Zion, to generation and generation, Praise ye Jah!
