Psalms 146
American Standard-ASV1901 (ASV)
1 Ref Praise ye Jehovah. Praise Jehovah, O my soul.
2 Ref While I live will I praise Jehovah: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.
3 Ref Put not your trust in princes, Nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.
4 Ref His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; In that very day his thoughts perish.
5 Ref Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, Whose hope is in Jehovah his God:
6 Ref Who made heaven and earth, The sea, and all that in them is; Who keepeth truth for ever;
7 Ref Who executeth justice for the oppressed; Who giveth food to the hungry. Jehovah looseth the prisoners;
8 Ref Jehovah openeth `the eyes of' the blind; Jehovah raiseth up them that are bowed down; Jehovah loveth the righteous;
9 Ref Jehovah preserveth the sojourners; He upholdeth the fatherless and widow; But the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.
10 Ref Jehovah will reign for ever, Thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye Jehovah.
Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

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

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