Psalm 146
1Praise the LORD!
Let my whole being#146.1 Or soul praise the LORD!
2I will praise the LORD with all my life;
I will sing praises to my God as long as I live.
3Don’t trust leaders;
don’t trust any human beings—
there’s no saving help with them!
4Their breath leaves them,
then they go back to the ground.
On that very same day, their plans die too.
5The person whose help is the God of Jacob—
the person whose hope rests on the LORD their God—
is truly happy!
6God: the maker of heaven and earth,
the sea, and all that is in them,
God: who is faithful forever,
7who gives justice to people who are oppressed,
who gives bread to people who are starving!
The LORD: who frees prisoners.
8The LORD: who makes the blind see.
The LORD: who straightens up those who are bent low.
The LORD: who loves the righteous.
9The LORD: who protects immigrants,
who helps orphans and widows,
but who makes the way of the wicked twist and turn!
10The LORD will rule forever!
Zion, your God will rule from one generation to the next!
Praise the LORD!
