Psalms 146
146
Our True Help
A poetic psalm by Haggai and Zechariah # 146 As translated from the Septuagint. Pss. 146–150 are called “Hallelujah Psalms” because they all begin in Hebrew with the words “Hallelujah, praise the Lord.”
1Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!
My innermost being will praise you, Lord!
2I will spend my life praising you and
singing high praises to you, my God, every day of my life!
3-4We can never look to men for help;
no matter who they are, they can’t save us,
for even our great leaders fail and fall.
They too are just mortals who will one day die.
At death the spirits of all depart and their bodies return to dust.
In the day of their death all their projects and plans are over.
5But those who hope in the Lord will be happy and pleased!
Our help comes from the God of Jacob!
6You keep all your promises.
You are the Creator of heaven’s glory,
earth’s grandeur, and the ocean’s greatness.
7The oppressed get justice with you.
The hungry are satisfied with you.
Prisoners find their freedom with you.
8You open the eyes of the blind,
and you fully restore those bent over with shame.
You love those who love and honor you.
9You watch over strangers and immigrants
and support the fatherless and widows.
But you subvert the plans of the ungodly.
10Lord, you will reign forever!
Zion’s God will rule throughout time and eternity!
Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!

1Praise Yah! Praise יהוה, O my being!
2While I live I praise יהוה; I sing praises to my Elohim while I exist.
3Do not put your trust in princes, In a son of man, in whom is no deliverance.
4His spirit goes out, he returns to his earth; In that day his plans perish.
5Blessed is he who has the Ěl of Ya‛aqoḇ for his help, Whose expectancy is in יהוה his Elohim,
6Maker of the heavens and earth, The sea and all that is in them, Who is guarding truth forever,
7Doing right-ruling for the oppressed, Giving bread to the hungry. יהוה releases those who are bound,
8יהוה opens the eyes of the blind, יהוה raises those who are bowed down, יהוה loves the righteous.
9יהוה guards the strangers, He lifts up the fatherless and widow, But the way of the wrong ones He turns upside down.
10יהוה reigns forever, O Tsiyon, Your Elohim to all generations. Praise Yah!
