Psalm 146

146 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,

    in 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 foreigners.

    He upholds the fatherless and widow,

    but he turns the way of the wicked upside down.

10 Yahweh will reign forever;

    your God, O Zion, to all generations.

Praise Yah!
