• Psalm 146

  • 1 Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord, my soul.
  • 2 I will praise the Lord all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.
  • 3 Do not put your trust in princes, in human beings, who cannot save.
  • 4 When their spirit departs, they return to the ground; on that very day their plans come to nothing.
  • 5 Blessed are those whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord their God.
  • 6 He is the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them— he remains faithful forever.
  • 7 He upholds the cause of the oppressed and gives food to the hungry. The Lord sets prisoners free,
  • 8 the Lord gives sight to the blind, the Lord lifts up those who are bowed down, the Lord loves the righteous.
  • 9 The Lord watches over the foreigner and sustains the fatherless and the widow, but he frustrates the ways of the wicked.
  • 10 The Lord reigns forever, your God, O Zion, for all generations. Praise the Lord.
