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.

Psalms 146
146
1Praise the Lord! With my whole being I praise the Lord!
2I will praise the Lord while I live; I will sing praises to my God while I have breath.
3Don't put your confidence in human leaders—they can't save you.
4Once they breathe no more, they go back to dust. On that very day everything they planned dies with them.
5Happy are those who have the God of Jacob to help them—their hope is in the Lord their God—
6the one who made heaven and earth, and the sea along with everything it contains. He is trustworthy forever.
7He makes sure the oppressed receive justice. He gives food to the hungry. The Lord sets the prisoners free.
8The Lord makes the blind see. The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down. The Lord loves those who do what's right.
9The Lord takes care of strangers among us. He looks after widows and orphans. But he makes life difficult for the wicked.
10The Lord will reign forever. Zion, he will be your God for all generations. Praise the Lord!
