3 #
Ps. 118:9 Put not your trust in princes,
#
Ps. 118:8; [Isa. 2:22; Jer. 17:5] in a son of man, in whom there is #Ps. 60:11; 108:12no salvation.
4When #Ps. 104:29; [Eccles. 12:7]; See Job 10:9; 34:14, 15his breath departs, he returns to the earth;
on that very day his plans perish.
5 # [Ps. 144:15] Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob,
whose #Ps. 119:116; See Ps. 2:12hope is in the Lord his God,
6 # See Ps. 115:15 who made heaven and earth,
the sea, and all that is in them,
# [Ps. 100:5; 117:2] who keeps faith forever;
7 #
Ps. 103:6 who executes justice for the oppressed,
#
Ps. 107:9; 145:15 who gives food to the hungry.
#
Ps. 105:20; Isa. 61:1; [Ps. 68:6] The Lord sets the prisoners free;
8 #
Matt. 9:30; John 9:7 the Lord opens the eyes of the blind.
#
Ps. 145:14; [Ps. 147:6] The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down;
#
Ps. 11:7
the Lord loves the righteous.
9 # [Ex. 22:21] The Lord watches over the sojourners;
#
Deut. 10:18; [Ex. 22:22]; See Ps. 10:14 he upholds the widow and the fatherless,
but #[Ps. 147:6]the way of the wicked he brings to ruin.
10 # See Ps. 10:16 The Lord will reign forever,
your God, O Zion, to all generations.
# [See ver. 1 above] Praise 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!
