Psalm, 146

¹ Praise Jah!^*1 Let my whole being^*2 praise Jehovah.

² I will praise Jehovah all my life. I will sing praises^*1 to my God as long as I live.

³ Do not put your trust in princes^*1 Nor in a son of man, who cannot bring salvation.

⁴ His spirit^*1 goes out, he returns to the ground; On that very day his thoughts perish.

⁵ Happy is the one who has the God of Jacob as his helper, 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 who always remains faithful,

⁷ The One securing justice for those defrauded, The One giving bread to the hungry. Jehovah is releasing the prisoners.^*1

⁸ Jehovah is opening the eyes of the blind; Jehovah is raising up those bowed down; Jehovah loves the righteous.

⁹ Jehovah is protecting the foreign residents; He sustains the fatherless child and the widow, But he thwarts the plans of the wicked.^*1

¹⁰ Jehovah will be King forever, Your God, O Zion, for generation after generation. Praise Jah!^*1
