| 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! -
