Psalms 146:1-10 LITV
(1) Praise Jehovah; praise Jehovah, O my soul.
(2) While I live I will praise Jehovah; I will sing praises to my God while I have being.
(3) Put not your trust in nobles, in a son of man, for there is no salvation in him.
(4) His breath will go out, he returns to the earth; his thoughts perish in that day.
(5) Blessed is he who has the God of Jacob in his help; his hope is on Jehovah his God,
(6) who made the heavens and the earth, the seas and all that is in them; who keeps truth forever;
(7) who executes judgment for the oppressed; who gives food to the hungry; Jehovah sets free the prisoners;
(8) Jehovah opens the eyes of the blind; Jehovah raises those bowed down; Jehovah loves the righteous;
(9) Jehovah watches over the strangers; He relieves the orphan and the widow, but He warps the way of the wicked.
(10) Jehovah shall reign forever, O Zion, your God from generation and generation. Praise Jehovah.
Psalm 146:1-10 NWT
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. 10Jehovah will be king to time indefinite, Your God, O Zion, for generation after generation. Praise Jah, you people!
Psalms 146:1-10 ASV
(1) Praise ye Jehovah. Praise Jehovah, O my soul.
(2) While I live will I praise Jehovah: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.
(3) Put not your trust in princes, Nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.
(4) His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; In that very day his thoughts perish.
(5) Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, Whose hope is in Jehovah his God:
(6) Who made heaven and earth, The sea, and all that in them is; Who keepeth truth for ever;
(7) Who executeth justice for the oppressed; Who giveth food 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 sojourners; He upholdeth the fatherless and widow; But the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.
(10) Jehovah will reign for ever, Thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye Jehovah.
