| Chapter 146 |
1 |
Praise Yah! Praise Yahweh, my soul.
|
2 |
While I live, I will praise Yahweh. I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.
|
3 |
Don't put your trust in princes, Each a son of man in whom there is no help.
|
4 |
His spirit departs, and he returns to the earth. In that very day, his thoughts perish.
|
5 |
Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, Whose hope is in Yahweh, his God:
|
6 |
Who made heaven and earth, The sea, and all that is in them; Who keeps truth forever;
|
7 |
Who executes justice for the oppressed; Who gives food to the hungry. Yahweh frees the prisoners.
|
8 |
Yahweh opens the eyes of the blind. Yahweh raises up those who are bowed down. Yahweh loves the righteous.
|
9 |
Yahweh preserves the sojourners. He upholds the fatherless and widow, But the way of the wicked he turns upside down.
|
10 |
Yahweh will reign forever; Your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise Yah! Psalm 147
