Psalm 146 - Hebrew Names version (HNV)

¹ Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD, my soul.

² While I live, I will praise the LORD. I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.

³ Don't put your trust in princes, each a son of man in whom there is no help.

⁴ His spirit departs, and he returns to the earth. In that very day, his thoughts perish.

⁵ Happy is he who has the God of Ya`akov for his help, whose hope is in the LORD, his God:

⁶ who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them; who keeps truth forever;

⁷ who executes justice for the oppressed; who gives food to the hungry. The LORD frees the prisoners.

⁸ The LORD opens the eyes of the blind. The LORD raises up those who are bowed down. The LORD loves the righteous.

⁹ The LORD preserves the foreigners. He upholds the fatherless and widow, but the way of the wicked he turns upside down.

¹⁰ The LORD will reign forever; your God, O Tziyon, to all generations. Praise the LORD!
