Psalm 146

¹Praise the LORD!Let all that I am praise the LORD. ² I will praise the LORD as long as I live. I will sing praises to my God with my dying breath.

³Don’t put your confidence in powerful people; there is no help for you there. ⁴ When they breathe their last, they return to the earth, and all their plans die with them. ⁵ But joyful are those who have the God of Israel Hebrew of Jacob. See note on 44:4. as their helper, whose hope is in the LORD their God. ⁶ He made heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them. He keeps every promise forever. ⁷ He gives justice to the oppressed and food to the hungry. The LORD frees the prisoners. ⁸ The LORD opens the eyes of the blind. The LORD lifts up those who are weighed down. The LORD loves the godly. ⁹ The LORD protects the foreigners among us. He cares for the orphans and widows, but he frustrates the plans of the wicked.

¹⁰The LORD will reign forever. He will be your God, O Jerusalem, Hebrew Zion. throughout the generations.Praise the LORD!
