Psalms 146 Comparison: American Standard Version vs Darby Translation
Psalms 146
1Praise ye Jehovah. Praise Jehovah, O my soul.
2While I live will I praise Jehovah: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.
3Put not your trust in princes, Nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.
4His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; In that very day his thoughts perish.
5Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, Whose hope is in Jehovah his God:
6Who made heaven and earth, The sea, and all that in them is; Who keepeth truth for ever;
7Who executeth justice for the oppressed; Who giveth food to the hungry. Jehovah looseth the prisoners;
8Jehovah openeth the eyes of the blind; Jehovah raiseth up them that are bowed down; Jehovah loveth the righteous;
9Jehovah preserveth the sojourners; He upholdeth the fatherless and widow; But the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.
10Jehovah will reign for ever, Thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye Jehovah.
Psalms 146
1Hallelujah! Praise Jehovah, O my soul.
2As long as I live will I praise Jehovah; I will sing psalms unto myGod while I have my being.
3Put not confidence in nobles, in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation.
4His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his purposes perish.
5Blessed is he who hath theGod of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Jehovah hisGod,
6Who made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is therein; who keepeth truth for ever;
7Who executeth judgment for the oppressed, who giveth bread to the hungry. Jehovah looseth the prisoners;
8Jehovah openeth [the eyes of] the blind; Jehovah raiseth up them that are bowed down; Jehovah loveth the righteous;
9Jehovah preserveth the strangers; he lifteth up the fatherless and the widow; but the way of the wicked doth he subvert.
10Jehovah will reign for ever, [even] thyGod, O Zion, from generation to generation. Hallelujah!
