The glory of the majesty of his kingdom.

And satisfy the desire of every living thing.

Praise Yahweh, my soul.
{146:2} While I live, I will praise Yahweh.
I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.
{146:3} Don't put your trust in princes,
Each a son of man in whom there is no help.
{146:4} His spirit departs, and he returns to the earth.
In that very day, his thoughts perish.
{146:5} Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help,
Whose hope is in Yahweh, his God:
{146:6} Who made heaven and earth,
The sea, and all that is in them;
Who keeps truth forever;
{146:7} Who executes justice for the oppressed;
Who gives food to the hungry.
Yahweh frees the prisoners.
{146:8} Yahweh opens the eyes of the blind.
Yahweh raises up those who are bowed down.

But the way of the wicked he turns upside down.

Your God, O Zion, to all generations.
Praise Yah!

{147:1} Praise Yah,
For it is good to sing praises to our God;
For it is pleasant and fitting to praise him.

He gathers together the outcasts of Israel.
{147:3} He heals the broken in heart,
And binds up their wounds.
{147:4} He counts the number of the stars.
He calls them all by their names.

{147:8} Who covers the sky with clouds,
Who prepares rain for the earth,
Who makes grass grow on the mountains.
{147:9} He provides food for the cattle,
And for the young ravens when they call.
{147:10} He doesn't delight in the strength of the horse.
He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man.

In those who hope in his loving kindness.

Praise your God, Zion!
{147:13} For he has strengthened the bars of your gates.
He has blessed your children within you.
{147:14} He makes peace in your borders.
He fills you with the finest of the wheat.
{147:15} He sends out his commandment to the earth.
His word runs very swiftly.
{147:16} He gives snow like wool,
And scatters frost like ashes.
{147:17} He hurls down his hail like pebbles.
Who can stand before his cold?
{147:18} He sends out his word, and melts them.
He causes his wind to blow, and the waters flow.
{147:19} He shows his word to Jacob;
His statutes and his ordinances to Israel.
{147:20} He has not done this for just any nation.
They don't know his ordinances.
Praise Yah!
