Psalms 146

  1. 1

    Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord, O my soul.

  2. 2

    I will praise the Lord as long as I live. I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.

  3. 3

    Do not trust in princes, or in human beings, who cannot deliver.

  4. 4

    Their life’s breath departs, they return to the ground. On that day their plans die.

  5. 5

    How blessed is the one whose helper is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord his God.

  6. 6

    The one who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, who remains forever faithful,

  7. 7

    vindicates the oppressed, and gives food to the hungry. The Lord releases the imprisoned.

  8. 8

    The Lord gives sight to the blind. The Lord lifts up all who are bent over. The Lord loves the godly.

  9. 9

    The Lord protects the resident foreigner. He lifts up the fatherless and the widow, but he opposes the wicked.

  10. 10

    The Lord rules forever, your God, O Zion, throughout the generations to come. Praise the Lord!
