| 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! |
