Psalm 146
The Lord an Abundant Helper.
1Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!)
Praise the Lord, O my soul!
2While I live I will praise the Lord;
I will sing praises to my God as long as I live.
3Do not trust in princes,
In mortal man, in whom there is no salvation (help).
4When his spirit leaves him, he returns to the earth;
In that very day his thoughts and plans perish. [1 Cor 2:6]
5How blessed and graciously favored is he whose help is the God of Jacob (Israel),
Whose hope is in the Lord his God, [Gen 32:30]
6Who made heaven and earth,
The sea, and all that is in them,
Who keeps truth and is faithful forever, [Gen 1:3]
7Who executes justice for the oppressed,
Who gives food to the hungry.
The Lord sets free the prisoners.
8¶The Lord opens the eyes of the blind;
The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down;
The Lord loves the #146:8 I.e. those whose moral and spiritual integrity places them in right standing with God.righteous [the upright in heart]. [Luke 13:13; John 9:7, 32]
9The Lord protects the strangers;
He supports the fatherless and the widow;
But He makes crooked the way of the wicked.
10The Lord shall reign forever,
Your God, O Zion, to all generations.
Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!) [Ps 10:16; Rev 11:15]

Psalm 146
146
Praise for the Lord's Righteous Acts
1Praise ye the Lord.
Praise the Lord, O my soul.
2While I live will I praise the Lord:
I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.
3Put not your trust in princes,
nor in the son of man,
in whom there is no help.
4His breath goeth forth,
he returneth to his earth;
in that very day his thoughts perish.
5Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help,
whose hope is in the Lord his God:
6which made heaven, and earth,
the sea, and all that therein is:
which keepeth truth for ever:
7which executeth judgment for the oppressed:
which giveth food to the hungry.
The Lord looseth the prisoners:
8the Lord openeth the eyes of the blind:
the Lord raiseth them that are bowed down:
the Lord loveth the righteous:
9the Lord preserveth the strangers;
he relieveth the fatherless and widow:
but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.
10The Lord shall reign for ever,
even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations.
Praise ye the Lord.
