Psalms 146

1. ¹Hallelujah! Praise Jehovah, O my soul.
2. ²As long as I live will I praise Jehovah; I will sing psalms unto my God while I have my being.
3. ³Put not confidence in nobles, in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation.
4. ⁴His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his purposes perish.
5. ⁵Blessed is he who hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Jehovah his God,
6. ⁶Who made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is therein; who keepeth truth for ever;
7. ⁷Who executeth judgment for the oppressed, who giveth bread to the hungry. Jehovah looseth the prisoners;
8. ⁸Jehovah openeth [supplied: the eyes of] the blind; Jehovah raiseth up them that are bowed down; Jehovah loveth the righteous;
9. ⁹Jehovah preserveth the strangers; he lifteth up the fatherless and the widow; but the way of the wicked doth he subvert.
10. ¹⁰Jehovah will reign for ever, [supplied: even] thy God, O Zion, from generation to generation. Halleluiah!
