Psalms 146
1 Hallelujah! Praise the LORD, my soul.
2 I will praise the LORD as long as I live; I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.
3 Do not trust in nobles, or in any human being, who cannot save.
4 When his breath leaves him, he returns to his own soil; on that day his plans come to an end.
5 Happy is the one whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD his God.
6 He made heaven and earth, the sea and everything in them; he keeps faith forever.
7 He brings justice to the oppressed and gives bread to the hungry. The LORD sets prisoners free.
8 The LORD opens the eyes of the blind; the LORD lifts up those who are bowed down; the LORD loves the righteous.
9 The LORD protects resident foreigners, sustains the orphan and the widow, but throws the way of the wicked into confusion.
10 The LORD will reign forever, your God, O Zion, from generation to generation. Hallelujah!
