Psalms 146:4-8 in English

⁴ His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; In that very day his thoughts perish.

⁵ Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, Whose hope is in Jehovah his God:

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 food to the hungry. Jehovah looseth the prisoners;

⁸ Jehovah openeth the eyes of the blind; Jehovah raiseth up them that are bowed down; Jehovah loveth the righteous;

⁴ He numbers the multitudes of stars; and calls them all by names.

⁵ Great is our Lord, and great is his strength; and his understanding is infinite.

⁶ The Lord lifts up the meek; but brings sinners down to the ground.

⁷ Begin the song with thanksgiving to the Lord; sing praises on the harp to our God:

⁸ who covers the heaven with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who causes grass to spring up on the mountains, and green herb for the service of men;

⁴ His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.
