1(146) Alleluia, [a Psalm] of Aggaeus and Zacharias. My soul, praise the Lord.
1Praise Yah! Praise Yahweh, my soul.
2While I live will I praise the Lord: I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.
2While I live, I will praise Yahweh. I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.
3Trust not in princes, nor in the children of men, in whom there is no safety.
3Don’t put your trust in princes, in a son of man in whom there is no help.
4His breath shall go forth, and he shall return to his earth; in that day all his thoughts shall perish.
4His spirit departs, and he returns to the earth. In that very day, his thoughts perish.
5Blessed is he whose helper is the God of Jacob , whose hope is in the Lord his God:
5Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Yahweh, his God,
6who made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all things in them: who keeps truth for ever:
6who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them; who keeps truth forever;
7who executes judgment for the wronged: who gives food to the hungry. The Lord looses the fettered ones:
7who executes justice for the oppressed; who gives food to the hungry. Yahweh frees the prisoners.
8the Lord gives wisdom to the blind: The Lord sets up the broken down: the Lord loves the righteous: the Lord preserves the strangers;
8Yahweh opens the eyes of the blind. Yahweh raises up those who are bowed down. Yahweh loves the righteous.
9he will relieve the orphan and widow: but will utterly remove the way of sinners.
9Yahweh preserves the foreigners. He upholds the fatherless and widow, but he turns the way of the wicked upside down.
10The Lord shall reign for ever, [even] your God, O Sion, to all generations.
10Yahweh will reign forever; your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise Yah!
