Psalms 146

Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

1 Ref Praise ye Jah! Praise, O my soul, Jehovah.

2 Ref I praise Jehovah during my life, I sing praise to my God while I exist.

3 Ref Trust not in princes -- in a son of man, For he hath no deliverance.

4 Ref His spirit goeth forth, he returneth to his earth, In that day have his thoughts perished.

5 Ref O the happiness of him Who hath the God of Jacob for his help, His hope `is' on Jehovah his God,

6 Ref Making the heavens and earth, The sea and all that `is' in them, Who is keeping truth to the age,

7 Ref Doing judgment for the oppressed, Giving bread to the hungry.

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,

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

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

4 Ref His spirit departs, and he returns to the earth. In that very day, his thoughts perish.

6 Ref Who made heaven and earth, The sea, and all that is in them; Who keeps truth forever;

7 Ref Who executes justice for the oppressed; Who gives food to the hungry. Yahweh frees the prisoners.
