1 # See Ps. 135:1 Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord, O my soul!

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!
My soul, praise the Lord!
2I will praise the Lord all my life.
I will sing praises to him as long as I live.
3Don’t depend on your leaders for help.
Don’t depend on people, because they cannot save you.
4People die and are buried.
Then all their plans to help are gone.
5It is a great blessing for people to have the God of Jacob to help them.
They depend on the Lord their God.
6He made heaven and earth.
He made the sea and everything in it.
He can be trusted to do what he says.
7He does what is right for those who have been hurt.
He gives food to the hungry.
The Lord frees people locked up in prison.
8The Lord makes the blind see again.
The Lord helps those who are in trouble.
The Lord loves those who do right.
9The Lord protects strangers in our country.
He cares for widows and orphans,
but he destroys the wicked.
10The Lord will rule forever!
Zion, your God will rule forever and ever!
Praise the Lord!
