PSALM 146
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1Praise God. The Lord praise, O my soul.
2I'll praise God while I live;
While I have being to my God
in songs I'll praises give.
3Trust not in princes, nor man's son,
in whom there is no stay:
4His breath departs, to's earth he turns;
that day his thoughts decay.
5O happy is that man and blest,
whom Jacob's God doth aid;
Whose hope upon the Lord doth rest,
and on his God is stay'd:
6Who made the earth and heavens high,
who made the swelling deep,
And all that is within the same;
who truth doth ever keep:
7Who righteous judgment executes
for those oppress'd that be,
Who to the hungry giveth food;
God sets the pris'ners free.
8The Lord doth give the blind their sight,
the bowed down doth raise:
The Lord doth dearly love all those
that walk in upright ways.
9The stranger's shield, the widow's stay,
the orphan's help, is he:
But yet by him the wicked's way
turn'd upside down shall be.
10The Lord shall reign for evermore:
thy God, O Sion, he
Reigns to all generations.
Praise to the Lord give ye.

146
Praise to Yahweh for His Help
1Praise Yah.#Hebrew hallelujah
Praise Yahweh, O my soul.
2I will praise Yahweh while I live;
I will sing praises to my God while I am still alive.
3Do not place trust in princes,
in a son of humankind with whom there is no deliverance.
4His breath departs; he returns to his plot;#A Hebrew wordplay: “humankind,” adam (v. 3), returns to his ground/plot, adamah
on that day his plans perish.
5Blessed is the one whose help is the God of Jacob,
whose hope is on Yahweh as his God,
6who made heaven and earth,
the sea and all that is in them,
the one who keeps faith#Or “remains faithful” forever,
7who executes justice for the oppressed,
who gives food for the hungry.
Yahweh sets prisoners free;
8Yahweh opens the eyes of the blind;
Yahweh raises up those bowed down;
Yahweh loves the righteous;
9Yahweh protects#Or “watches over” the strangers.
He helps up the orphan and the widow,
but the way of the wicked he thwarts.#Literally “makes crooked”
10Yahweh will reign forever,
Your God, O Zion, throughout all generations.#Literally “for a generation and a generation”
Praise Yah.#Hebrew hallelujah
