| Chapter 146 |
1 | Hallelujah! Praise Jehovah, O my soul.
|
2 | As long as I live will I praise Jehovah; I will sing psalms unto my God while I have my being.
|
3 | Put not confidence in nobles, in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation.
|
4 | His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his purposes perish.
|
5 | Blessed is he who hath the łGod of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Jehovah his God,
|
6 | Who made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is therein; who keepeth truth for ever;
|
7 | Who executeth judgment for the oppressed, who giveth bread to the hungry. Jehovah looseth the prisoners;
|
8 | Jehovah openeth [the eyes of] the blind; Jehovah raiseth up them that are bowed down; Jehovah loveth the righteous;
|
9 | Jehovah preserveth the strangers; he lifteth up the fatherless and the widow; but the way of the wicked doth he subvert.
|
10 | Jehovah will reign for ever, [even] thy God, O Zion, from generation to generation. Halleluiah!
