Psalm 146
1. Halleluyah! 1 Praise Adonai, my soul!
2. I will praise Adonai as long as I live. 2 I will sing praise to my God all my life.
3. Don’t put your trust in princes 3 or in mortals, who cannot help.
4. When they breathe their last, they return to dust; 4 on that very day all their plans are gone.
5. Happy is he whose help is Ya‘akov’s God, 5 whose hope is in Adonai his God.
6. He made heaven and earth, 6 the sea and everything in them; 6 he keeps faith forever.
7. He secures justice for the oppressed, 7 he gives food to the hungry. 7 Adonai sets prisoners free,
8. Adonai opens the eyes of the blind, 8 Adonai lifts up those who are bent over. 8 Adonai loves the righteous.
9. Adonai watches over strangers, 9 he sustains the fatherless and widows; 9 but the way of the wicked he twists.
10. Adonai will reign forever, 10 your God, Tziyon, through all generations. 10 Halleluyah!
