Psalms 146
I Will Praise Yahweh Throughout My Life
1 (F1)Praise Yah!
(C1)Praise Yahweh, O my soul!
2 I will praise Yahweh (C1)throughout my life;
I will (C2)sing praises to my God while I have my being.
3 (C1)Do not trust in nobles,
In merely a son of (C2)man, in whom there is (C3)no salvation.
4 His (C1)spirit departs, he (C2)returns to (F1)the earth;
In that very day his (C3)plans perish.
5 How (C1)blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob,
Whose (C2)hope is in Yahweh his God,
6 Who (C1)made heaven and earth,
The (C2)sea and all that is in them;
Who (C3)keeps truth forever;
7 Who (C1)does justice for the oppressed;
Who (C2)gives food to the hungry.
Yahweh (C3)sets the prisoners free.
8 Yahweh (C1)opens the eyes of the blind;
Yahweh (C2)raises up those who are bowed down;
Yahweh (C3)loves the righteous;
9 Yahweh (C1)keeps the sojourners;
He (F1)(C2)helps up the orphan and the widow,
But He bends (C3)the way of the wicked.
10 Yahweh will (C1)reign forever,
Your God, O Zion, (F1)from generation to generation.
(F2)Praise Yah!
