146 1 Praise Yahweh!
Praise Yahweh, O my soul!
146 2 I will praise Yahweh as long as I live;
I will sing praises to my God while I have being.
146 3 Put not your trust in princes,
in a son of man, in whom there is no help.
146 4 When his breath departs he returns to his earth;
on that very day his plans perish.
146 5 Happy is he whose help is the God of Jacob,
whose hope is in Yahweh his God,
146 6 who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them;
who keeps faith for ever;
146 7 who executes justice for the oppressed;
who gives food to the hungry.
Yahweh sets the prisoners free;
146 8 Yahweh opens the eyes of the blind.
Yahweh lifts up those who are bowed down;
Yahweh loves the righteous.
146 9 Yahweh watches over the sojourners,
he upholds the widow and the fatherless;
but the way of the wicked he brings to ruin.
146 10 Yahweh will reign for ever,
your God, O Zion, to all generations.
Praise Yahweh!
