146 Praise Jah, YOU people!*+

Praise Jehovah, O my soul.+

 2 I will praise Jehovah during my lifetime.+

I will make melody to my God as long as I am.+

 3 Do not put YOUR trust in nobles,+

Nor in the son of earthling man,* to whom no salvation belongs.+

 4 His spirit* goes out,+ he goes back to his ground;+

In that day his thoughts do perish.*+

 5 Happy is the one who has the God* of Jacob for his help,+

Whose hope is in Jehovah his God,+

 6 The Maker of heaven and earth,+

Of the sea, and of all that is in them,+

The One keeping trueness to time indefinite,+

 7 The One executing judgment for the defrauded ones,+

The One giving bread to the hungry ones.+

Jehovah is releasing those who are bound.+

 8 Jehovah is opening [the eyes of] the blind ones;+

Jehovah is raising up the ones bowed down;+

Jehovah is loving the righteous ones.+

 9 Jehovah is guarding the alien residents;+

The fatherless boy and the widow he relieves,+

But the way+ of the wicked ones he makes crooked.+

10 Jehovah will be king to time indefinite,+

Your God, O Zion, for generation after generation.+

Praise Jah, YOU people!+
