Psalms 146

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