Psalms, 146

¹ Praise Jah, YOU people!^*1 Praise Jehovah, O my soul.

² I will praise Jehovah during my lifetime. I will make melody to my God as long as I am.

³ Do not put YOUR trust in nobles, Nor in the son of earthling man,^*1 to whom no salvation belongs.

⁴ His spirit^*1 goes out, he goes back to his ground; In that day his thoughts do perish.^*2

⁵ Happy is the one who has the God^*1 of Jacob for his help, Whose hope is in Jehovah his God,

⁶ The Maker of heaven and earth, Of the sea, and of all that is in them, The One keeping trueness to time indefinite,

⁷ The One executing judgment for the defrauded ones, The One giving bread to the hungry ones. Jehovah is releasing those who are bound.

⁸ Jehovah is opening [the eyes of] the blind ones; Jehovah is raising up the ones bowed down; Jehovah is loving the righteous ones.

⁹ Jehovah is guarding the alien residents; The fatherless boy and the widow he relieves, But the way of the wicked ones he makes crooked.

¹⁰ Jehovah will be king to time indefinite, Your God, O Zion, for generation after generation. Praise Jah, YOU people!
