Psalm 146
1Hallelujah!
Praise the Lord, my soul!
2I want to praise the Lord throughout my life.
I want to make music to praise my God as long as I live.
3Do not trust influential people,
mortals who cannot help you.
4When they breathe their last breath, they return to the ground.
On that day their plans come to an end.
5Blessed are those who receive help from the God of Jacob.
Their hope rests on the Lord their God,
6who made heaven, earth,
the sea, and everything in them.
The Lord remains faithful forever.
7He brings about justice for those who are oppressed.
He gives food to those who are hungry.
The Lord sets prisoners free.
8The Lord gives sight to blind people.
The Lord straightens ⌞the backs⌟ of those who are bent over.
The Lord loves righteous people.
9The Lord protects foreigners.
The Lord gives relief to orphans and widows.
But he keeps wicked people from reaching their goal.
10The Lord rules as king forever.
Zion, your God rules throughout every generation.
Hallelujah!

Psalms 146
146
1Praise ye Jah! Praise, O my soul, Jehovah.
2I praise Jehovah during my life, I sing praise to my God while I exist.
3Trust not in princes — in a son of man, For he hath no deliverance.
4His spirit goeth forth, he returneth to his earth, In that day have his thoughts perished.
5O the happiness of him Who hath the God of Jacob for his help, His hope [is] on Jehovah his God,
6Making the heavens and earth, The sea and all that [is] in them, Who is keeping truth to the age,
7Doing judgment for the oppressed, Giving bread to the hungry.
8 Jehovah is loosing the prisoners, Jehovah is opening (the eyes of) the blind, Jehovah is raising the bowed down, Jehovah is loving the righteous,
9 Jehovah is preserving the strangers, The fatherless and widow He causeth to stand, And the way of the wicked He turneth upside down.
10 Jehovah doth reign to the age, Thy God, O Zion, to generation and generation, Praise ye Jah!
