Put Not Your Trust in Princes
1 # See Ps. 135:1 Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord, O my soul!
2I will praise the Lord #Ps. 63:4; [Ps. 145:2] as long as I live;
#
Ps. 104:33
I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.
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!

146
Shout Praises to the Lord
1Shout praises to the Lord!
With all that I am,
I will shout his praises.
2I will sing and praise
the Lord God
as long as I live.
3You can't depend on anyone,
not even a great leader.
4Once they die and are buried,
that will be the end
of all their plans.
5The Lord God of Jacob blesses
everyone who trusts him
and depends on him.
6 #
Ac 4.24; 14.15. God made heaven and earth;
he created the sea
and everything else.
God always keeps his word.
7He gives justice to the poor
and food to the hungry.
The Lord sets prisoners free
8and heals blind eyes.
He gives a helping hand
to everyone who falls.
The Lord loves good people
9and looks after strangers.
He defends the rights
of orphans and widows,
but destroys the wicked.
10The Lord God of Zion
will rule forever!
Shout praises to the Lord!
