Psalms 146
1
Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD, O my soul!
2
While I live I will praise the LORD; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.
3
Do not put your trust in princes, Nor in a son of man, in whom there is no help.
4
His spirit departs, he returns to his earth; In that very day his plans perish.
5
Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, Whose hope is in the LORD his God,
6
Who made heaven and earth, The sea, and all that is in them; Who keeps truth forever,
7
Who executes justice for the oppressed, Who gives food to the hungry. The LORD gives freedom to the prisoners.
8
The LORD opens the eyes of the blind; The LORD raises those who are bowed down; The LORD loves the righteous.
9
The LORD watches over the strangers; He relieves the fatherless and widow; But the way of the wicked He turns upside down.
10
The LORD shall reign forever--Your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise the LORD!
