Psalms 146

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