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!
