146:1 Alleluia . My soul, praise thou the Lord; 146:2 I shall praise the Lord in my life (I shall praise the Lord all my life); I shall sing to my God as long as I shall be. 146:3 Do not ye trust in princes; neither in the sons of men, in whom is no health. (Do not ye trust in princes, or in your leaders ; nor in other people, in whom there is no help, or deliverance .) 146:4 The spirit of him shall go out, and he shall turn again into his earth; in that day all the thoughts of them shall perish. (The breath of your prince, or of your leader , shall go out of him, and he shall return to the dust; and on that day all his thoughts shall perish.) 146:5 He is blessed, of whom the God of Jacob is his helper; his hope is in his Lord God, (He is blessed, whom the God of Jacob is his helper; his hope is in the Lord his God,) 146:6 that made heaven, and earth; the sea, and all things that be in those. Which keepeth truth into the world, (who made heaven, and earth; and the sea, and all the creatures that be in them. Who keepeth the truth safe forever,) 146:7 he maketh doom to them that suffer wrong; he giveth meat to them that be hungry. The Lord unbindeth fettered men; ( he maketh justice for those who suffer wrong; he giveth food to those who be hungry. The Lord unbindeth the fettered;) 146:8 the Lord lighteneth blind men. The Lord raiseth men hurtled down; the Lord loveth just men. (the Lord giveth light to the blind/the Lord giveth sight to the blind. The Lord raiseth up those who be hurtled down; the Lord loveth the righteous.) 146:9 The Lord keepeth comelings; he shall take up a motherless child, and a widow; and he shall destroy the ways of sinners. (The Lord keepeth newcomers, or strangers , safe/The Lord keepeth watch over newcomers, or strangers ; he taketh up the causes of a motherless child, and of a widow; but he destroyeth the ways of the sinners.) 146:10 The Lord shall reign into the worlds; Zion, thy God shall reign in generation and into generation. (The Lord shall reign forever; Zion, thy God shall reign for all generations/thy God shall reign in all generations.)
