Psalms 146
1Praise Yahweh. 1 Praise Yahweh, my soul. 1
2I give praise to Yahweh with all my life; 1 I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist. 1
3Do not put your trust in princes 1 or in mankind, in whom there is no salvation. 1
4When a person's life's breath stops, he returns to the ground; 1 on that day his plans end. 1
5Blessed is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, 1 whose hope is in Yahweh his God. 1
6Yahweh made heaven and earth, 1 the sea, and all that is in them; 1 he observes trustworthiness forever. 1
7He executes justice for the oppressed 1 and gives food to the hungry. 1 Yahweh frees the prisoners; 1
8Yahweh opens the eyes of the blind; 1 Yahweh raises up those who are bowed down; 1 Yahweh loves the righteous people. 1
9Yahweh protects the foreigners in the land; 1 he lifts up the fatherless and widow, 1 but he opposes the wicked. 1
10Yahweh will reign forever, 1 your God, Zion, for all generations. 1 Praise Yahweh.
