Psalm 146:1–147:11

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.

⁸Jehovah is loosing the prisoners, Jehovah is opening (the eyes of) the blind, Jehovah is raising the bowed down, Jehovah is loving the righteous,

⁹Jehovah is preserving the strangers, The fatherless and widow He causeth to stand, And the way of the wicked He turneth upside down.

¹⁰Jehovah doth reign to the age, Thy God, O Zion, to generation and generation, Praise ye Jah!

Psalm 147

¹Praise ye Jah! For it is good to praise our God, For pleasant—comely is praise.

²Building Jerusalem is Jehovah, The driven away of Israel He gathereth.

³Who is giving healing to the broken of heart, And is binding up their griefs.

⁴Appointing the number of the stars, To all them He giveth names.

⁵Great is our Lord, and abundant in power, Of His understanding there is no narration.

⁶Jehovah is causing the meek to stand, Making low the wicked unto the earth.

⁷Answer ye to Jehovah with thanksgiving, Sing ye to our God with a harp.

⁸Who is covering the heavens with clouds, Who is preparing for the earth rain, Who is causing grass to spring up on mountains,

⁹Giving to the beast its food, To the young of the ravens that call.

¹⁰Not in the might of the horse doth He delight, Not in the legs of a man is He pleased.

¹¹Jehovah is pleased with those fearing Him, With those waiting for His kindness.
