146:1 | Praise the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul. |
146:2 | I will praise the LORD all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live. |
146:3 | Do not put your trust in princes, in mortal men, who cannot save. |
146:4 | When their spirit departs, they return to the ground; on that very day their plans come to nothing. |
146:5 | Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD his God, |
146:6 | the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them--the LORD, who remains faithful forever. |
146:7 | He upholds the cause of the oppressed and gives food to the hungry. The LORD sets prisoners free, |
146:8 | the LORD gives sight to the blind, the LORD lifts up those who are bowed down, the LORD loves the righteous. |
146:9 | The LORD watches over the alien and sustains the fatherless and the widow, but he frustrates the ways of the wicked. |
146:10 | The LORD reigns forever, your God, O Zion, for all generations. Praise the LORD. |
