Psalms 146
146
1Praise the Lord!
Let all that I am praise the Lord.
2I 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.
4When they breathe their last, they return to the earth,
and all their plans die with them.
5But joyful are those who have the God of Israel#146:5 Hebrew of Jacob. See note on 44:4. as their helper,
whose hope is in the Lord their God.
6He made heaven and earth,
the sea, and everything in them.
He keeps every promise forever.
7He gives justice to the oppressed
and food to the hungry.
The Lord frees the prisoners.
8The Lord opens the eyes of the blind.
The Lord lifts up those who are weighed down.
The Lord loves the godly.
9The 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,#146:10 Hebrew Zion. throughout the generations.
Praise the Lord!

146
1Praise Yah!
Praise Yahweh, my soul.
2While I live, I will praise Yahweh.
I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.
3Don’t put your trust in princes,
in a son of man in whom there is no help.
4His spirit departs, and he returns to the earth.
In that very day, his thoughts perish.
5Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help,
whose hope is in Yahweh, his God,
6who made heaven and earth,
the sea, and all that is in them;
who keeps truth forever;
7who executes justice for the oppressed;
who gives food to the hungry.
Yahweh frees the prisoners.
8Yahweh opens the eyes of the blind.
Yahweh raises up those who are bowed down.
Yahweh loves the righteous.
9Yahweh preserves the foreigners.
He upholds the fatherless and widow,
but he turns the way of the wicked upside down.
10Yahweh will reign forever;
your God, O Zion, to all generations.
Praise Yah!
