Psalm 146

1  Hallelujah! Praise Jehovah, O my soul. 2  As long as I live will I praise Jehovah; I will sing psalms unto my God while I have my being. 3  Put not confidence in nobles, in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation. 4  His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his purposes perish.

5  Blessed is he who hath the •God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Jehovah his God, 6  Who made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is therein; who keepeth truth for ever; 7  Who executeth judgment for the oppressed, who giveth bread to the hungry. Jehovah looseth the prisoners; 8  Jehovah openeth the eyes of the blind; Jehovah raiseth up them that are bowed down; Jehovah loveth the righteous; 9  Jehovah preserveth the strangers; he lifteth up the fatherless and the widow; but the way of the wicked doth he subvert. 10  Jehovah will reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, from generation to generation. Hallelujah!
