146:1  Praise Yah! Praise Yahweh, my soul.

146:2  While I live, I will praise Yahweh. I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.

146:3  Don't put your trust in princes, Each a son of man in whom there is no help.

146:4  His spirit departs, and he returns to the earth. In that very day, his thoughts perish.

146:5  Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, Whose hope is in Yahweh, his God:

146:6  Who made heaven and earth, The sea, and all that is in them; Who keeps truth forever;

146:7  Who executes justice for the oppressed; Who gives food to the hungry. Yahweh frees the prisoners.

146:8  Yahweh opens the eyes of the blind. Yahweh raises up those who are bowed down. Yahweh loves the righteous.

146:9  Yahweh preserves the foreigners. He upholds the fatherless and widow, But the way of the wicked he turns upside down.

146:10  Yahweh will reign forever; Your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise Yah!
