146:1 Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord, O my soul! 146:2 I will praise the Lord while I live; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being. 146:3 Do not trust in princes, In mortal man, in whom there is no salvation. 146:4 His spirit departs, he returns to the earth; In that very day his thoughts perish. 146:5 How blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, Whose hope is in the Lord his God, 146:6 Who made heaven and earth, The sea and all that is in them; Who keeps faith forever; 146:7 Who executes justice for the oppressed; Who gives food to the hungry. The Lord sets the prisoners free. 146:8 The Lord opens the eyes of the blind; The Lord raises up those who are bowed down; The Lord loves the righteous; 146:9 The Lord protects the strangers; He supports the fatherless and the widow, But He thwarts the way of the wicked. 146:10 The Lord will reign forever, Your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise the Lord!
