Psalms 146

¹ Al eluia! Praise Yahweh, my soul!

² I wil praise Yahweh al my life, I will make music to my God as long as I live.

³ Do not put your trust in princes, in any child of Adam, who has no power to save.

⁴ When his spirit goes forth he returns to the earth, on that very day al his plans come to nothing.

⁵ How blessed is he who has Jacob's God to help him, his hope is in Yahweh his God,

⁶ who made heaven and earth, the sea and al that is in them. He keeps faith for ever,

⁷ gives justice to the oppressed, gives food to the hungry; Yahweh sets prisoners free.

⁸ Yahweh gives sight to the blind, lifts up those who are bowed down.

⁹ Yahweh protects the stranger, he sustains the orphan and the widow. Yahweh loves the upright,buthe frustrates the wicked.

¹⁰ Yahweh reigns for ever, your God, Zion, from age to age.
