Psalms 146
|
Praise ye Jehovah. Praise Jehovah, O my soul. | Let the Lord be praised. Give praise to the Lord, O my soul. |
While I live will I praise Jehovah: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being. | While I have breath I will give praise to the Lord: I will make melody to my God while I have my being. |
Put not your trust in princes, Nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. | Put not your faith in rulers, or in the son of man, in whom there is no salvation. |
His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; In that very day his thoughts perish. | Man's breath goes out, he is turned back again to dust; in that day all his purposes come to an end. |
Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, Whose hope is in Jehovah his God: | Happy is the man who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God: |
Who made heaven and earth, The sea, and all that in them is; Who keepeth truth for ever; | Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all things in them; who keeps faith for ever: |
Who executeth justice for the oppressed; Who giveth food to the hungry. Jehovah looseth the prisoners; | Who gives their rights to those who are crushed down; and gives food to those who are in need of it: the Lord makes the prisoners free; |
Jehovah openeth [the eyes of] the blind; Jehovah raiseth up them that are bowed down; Jehovah loveth the righteous; | The Lord makes open the eyes of the blind; the Lord is the lifter up of those who are bent down; the Lord is a lover of the upright; |
Jehovah preserveth the sojourners; He upholdeth the fatherless and widow; But the way of the wicked he turneth upside down. | The Lord takes care of those who are in a strange land; he gives help to the widow and to the child who has no father; but he sends destruction on the way of sinners. |
Jehovah will reign for ever, Thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye Jehovah. Psalm 147 | The Lord will be King for ever; your God, O Zion, will be King through all generations. Praise be to the Lord. |
