Psalms 146

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Alleluia. Praise the Lord, because the psalm is good. Delightful and beautiful praise shall be for our God.	1 Al eluia! Praise Yahweh, my soul!
2 The Lord builds up Jerusalem. He will gather together the dispersed of Israel.	2 I wil praise Yahweh al my life, I will make music to my God as long as I live.
3 He heals the contrite of heart, and he binds up their sorrows.	3 Do not put your trust in princes, in any child of Adam, who has no power to save.
4 He numbers the multitude of the stars, and he calls them all by their names.	4 When his spirit goes forth he returns to the earth, on that very day al his plans come to nothing.
5 Great is our Lord, and great is his virtue. And of his wisdom, there is no number.	5 How blessed is he who has Jacob's God to help him, his hope is in Yahweh his God,
6 The Lord lifts up the meek, but he brings down the sinner, even to the ground.	6 who made heaven and earth, the sea and al that is in them. He keeps faith for ever,
7 Sing before the Lord with confession. Play psalms to our God on a stringed instrument.	7 gives justice to the oppressed, gives food to the hungry; Yahweh sets prisoners free.
8 He covers heaven with clouds, and he prepares rain for the earth. He produces grass on the mountains and herbs for the service of men.	8 Yahweh gives sight to the blind, lifts up those who are bowed down.
9 He gives their food to beasts of burden and to young ravens that call upon him.	9 Yahweh protects the stranger, he sustains the orphan and the widow. Yahweh loves the upright,buthe frustrates the wicked.
10 He will not have good will for the strength of the horse, nor will he be well pleased with the legs of a man.	10 Yahweh reigns for ever, your God, Zion, from age to age.
11 The Lord is well pleased with those who fear him and with those who hope in his mercy.
