Psalm 146

¹Praise ye Jah! Praise, O my soul, Jehovah.

²I praise Jehovah during my life, I sing praise to my God while I exist.

³Trust not in princes -- in a son of man, For he hath no deliverance.

⁴His spirit goeth forth, he returneth to his earth, In that day have his thoughts perished.

⁵O the happiness of him Who hath the God of Jacob for his help, His hope is on Jehovah his God,

⁶Making the heavens and earth, The sea and all that is in them, Who is keeping truth to the age,

⁷Doing judgment for the oppressed, Giving bread to the hungry.

⁸Jehovah is loosing the prisoners, Jehovah is opening (the eyes of) the blind, Jehovah is raising the bowed down, Jehovah is loving the righteous,

⁹Jehovah is preserving the strangers, The fatherless and widow He causeth to stand, And the way of the wicked He turneth upside down.

¹⁰Jehovah doth reign to the age, Thy God, O Zion, to generation and generation, Praise ye Jah!

¹Praise ye Jah! For it is good to praise our God, For pleasant -- comely is praise.

²Building Jerusalem is Jehovah, The driven away of Israel He gathereth.

³Who is giving healing to the broken of heart, And is binding up their griefs.

⁴Appointing the number of the stars, To all them He giveth names.

⁵Great is our Lord, and abundant in power, Of His understanding there is no narration.

⁶Jehovah is causing the meek to stand, Making low the wicked unto the earth.

⁷Answer ye to Jehovah with thanksgiving, Sing ye to our God with a harp.

⁸Who is covering the heavens with clouds, Who is preparing for the earth rain, Who is causing grass to spring up on mountains,

⁹Giving to the beast its food, To the young of the ravens that call.

¹⁰Not in the might of the horse doth He delight, Not in the legs of a man is He pleased.

¹¹Jehovah is pleased with those fearing Him, With those waiting for His kindness.

¹²Glorify, O Jerusalem, Jehovah, Praise thy God, O Zion.

¹³For He did strengthen the bars of thy gates, He hath blessed thy sons in thy midst.

¹⁴Who is making thy border peace, With the fat of wheat He satisfieth Thee.

¹⁵Who is sending forth His saying on earth, Very speedily doth His word run.

¹⁶Who is giving snow like wool, Hoar-frost as ashes He scattereth.

¹⁷Casting forth His ice like morsels, Before His cold who doth stand?

¹⁸He sendeth forth His word and melteth them, He causeth His wind to blow -- the waters flow.

¹⁹Declaring His words to Jacob, His statutes and His judgments to Israel.

²⁰He hath not done so to any nation, As to judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye Jah!

¹Praise ye Jah! Praise ye Jehovah from the heavens, Praise ye Him in high places.

²Praise ye Him, all His messengers, Praise ye Him, all His hosts.

³Praise ye Him, sun and moon, Praise ye Him, all stars of light.

⁴Praise ye Him, heavens of heavens, And ye waters that are above the heavens.

⁵They do praise the name of Jehovah, For He commanded, and they were created.

⁶And He establisheth them for ever to the age, A statute He gave, and they pass not over.

⁷Praise ye Jehovah from the earth, Dragons and all deeps,

⁸Fire and hail, snow and vapour, Whirlwind doing His word;

⁹The mountains and all heights, Fruit tree, and all cedars,

¹⁰The wild beast, and all cattle, Creeping thing, and winged bird,

¹¹Kings of earth, and all peoples, Chiefs, and all judges of earth,

¹²Young men, and also maidens, Aged men, with youths,

¹³They praise the name of Jehovah, For His name alone hath been set on high, His honour is above earth and heavens.

¹⁴And He exalteth the horn of His people, The praise of all His saints, Of the sons of Israel, a people near Him. Praise ye Jah!
