Psalms 146:1-9 ▼

1 Praise Yah! Praise Yahweh, O my soul!

2 I will praise Yahweh throughout my life; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.

3 Do not trust in nobles, In merely a son of man, in whom there is no salvation.

4 His spirit departs, he returns to the earth; In that very day his plans perish.

5 How blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, Whose hope is in Yahweh his God,

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

7 Who does justice for the oppressed; Who gives food to the hungry. Yahweh sets the prisoners free.

8 Yahweh opens the eyes of the blind; Yahweh raises up those who are bowed down; Yahweh loves the righteous;

9 Yahweh keeps the sojourners; He helps up the orphan and the widow, But He bends the way of the wicked.
