Psalms 146

1 Hallelujah. Praise HaShem, O my soul. 2 I will praise HaShem while I live; I will sing praises unto my G-d while I have my 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 dust; in that very day his thoughts perish. 5 Happy is he whose help is the G-d of Jacob, whose hope is in HaShem his G-d, 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 bread to the hungry. HaShem looseth the prisoners; 8 HaShem openeth the eyes of the blind; HaShem raiseth up them that are bowed down; HaShem loveth the righteous; 9 HaShem preserveth the strangers; He upholdeth the fatherless and the widow; but the way of the wicked He maketh crooked. 10 HaShem will reign for ever, Thy G-d, O Zion, unto all generations. Hallelujah.
