| Chapter 146 |
1 |
Praise ye Jah! Praise, O my soul, Jehovah. --
|
2 |
I praise Jehovah during my life, I sing praise to my God while I exist. --
|
3 |
Trust not in princes -- in a son of man, For he hath no deliverance. --
|
4 |
His spirit goeth forth, he returneth to his earth, In that day have his thoughts perished. --
|
5 |
O the happiness of him Who hath the God of Jacob for his help, His hope [is] on Jehovah his God, --
|
6 |
Making the heavens and earth, The sea and all that [is] in them, Who is keeping truth to the age, --
|
7 |
Doing judgment for the oppressed, Giving bread to the hungry. --
|
8 |
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 |
Jehovah is preserving the strangers, The fatherless and widow He causeth to stand, And the way of the wicked He turneth upside down. --
|
10 |
Jehovah doth reign to the age, Thy God, O Zion, to generation and generation, Praise ye Jah! --
