{Hebrew: Hallelujah.}Praise ye Jehovah.
Praise Jehovah, O my soul.
While I live will I praise Jehovah:
I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.
Put not your trust in princes,
Nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.
His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth;
In that very day his {Or, purposes}thoughts perish.
Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help,
Whose hope is in Jehovah his God:
Who made heaven and earth,
The sea, and all that in them is;
Who keepeth truth for ever;
Who executeth justice for the oppressed;
Who giveth food to the hungry.
Jehovah looseth the prisoners;
Jehovah openeth the eyes of the blind;
Jehovah raiseth up them that are bowed down;
Jehovah loveth the righteous;
Jehovah preserveth the sojourners;
He upholdeth the fatherless and widow;
But the way of the wicked he {Or, maketh crooked}turneth upside down.
Jehovah will reign for ever,
Thy God, O Zion, unto all generations.
{Hebrew: Hallelujah.}Praise ye Jehovah.
Querverweise zu Psalm 146,6 Ps 146,6
By the word of Jehovah were the heavens made,And all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
The sea is his, and he made it;And his hands formed the dry land.
For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever;Thy faithfulness wilt thou establish in the very heavens.
To him that by understanding made the heavens;For his lovingkindness endureth for ever:
for in six days Jehovah made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore Jehovah blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
But my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him,Nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.
To him that spread forth the earth above the waters;For his lovingkindness endureth for ever:
Or who shut up the sea with doors,When it brake forth, {Or, and issued}as if it had issued out of the womb;
When I made clouds the garment thereof,And thick darkness a swaddling-band for it,
And {Hebrew: brake.}marked out for it my bound,And set bars and doors,
And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further;And here shall thy proud waves be stayed?
He hath remembered his lovingkindness and his faithfulness toward the house of Israel:All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
Let them praise the name of Jehovah;For he commanded, and they were created.
When he made firm the skies above,When the fountains of the deep became strong,
For Jehovah is good; his lovingkindness endureth for ever,And his faithfulness unto all generations.
He hath also established them for ever and ever:He hath made a decree {Or, which none shall transgress}which shall not pass away.
When he gave to the sea {Or, his decree}its bound,That the waters should not transgress his commandment,When he {Or, appointed}marked out the foundations of the earth;
Know therefore that Jehovah thy God, he is God, the faithful God, who keepeth covenant and lovingkindness with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations,
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
And I prayed unto Jehovah my God, and made confession, and said, Oh, Lord, the great and dreadful God, who keepeth covenant and lovingkindness with them that love him and keep his commandments,
{This verse is in Aramaic.}Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, {Or, they shall…under these heavens}these shall perish from the earth, and from under the heavens.
{Or, Thou wilt show thy faithfulness &c.}Thou wilt {Hebrew: give.}perform the truth to Jacob, and the lovingkindness to Abraham, which thou hast sworn unto our fathers from the days of old.
He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding hath he stretched out the heavens.
Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, {Psalm 82:6}I said, Ye are gods?
Ah Lord Jehovah! behold, thou hast made the heavens and the earth by thy great power and by thine outstretched arm; there is nothing too {Or, wonderful}hard for thee,
in hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised {Or, long ages ago}before times eternal;
All things were made through him; and without him {Or, was not anything made. That which hath been made was life in him; and the life &c.}was not anything made that hath been made.
that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us:
for in him were all things created, in the heavens and upon the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things have been created through him, and unto him;
and he saith with a great voice, Fear God, and give him glory; for the hour of his judgment is come: and {See marginal note on chapter 3:9}worship him that made the heaven and the earth and sea and fountains of waters.
