Psalm 146

Complete Jewish Bible

146 Halleluyah!

Praise Adonai, my soul!
² I will praise Adonai as long as I live.
I will sing praise to my God all my life.

³ Don’t put your trust in princes
or in mortals, who cannot help.
⁴ When they breathe their last, they return to dust;
on that very day all their plans are gone.

⁵ Happy is he whose help is Ya‘akov’s God,
whose hope is in Adonai his God.
⁶ He made heaven and earth,
the sea and everything in them;
he keeps faith forever.

⁷ He secures justice for the oppressed,
he gives food to the hungry.
Adonai sets prisoners free,
⁸ Adonai opens the eyes of the blind,
Adonai lifts up those who are bent over.
Adonai loves the righteous.
⁹ Adonai watches over strangers,
he sustains the fatherless and widows;
but the way of the wicked he twists.

¹⁰ Adonai will reign forever,
your God, Tziyon, through all generations.

Halleluyah!
