Psalm 146
1Hallelujah!
Praise the Lord, my soul!
2I want to praise the Lord throughout my life.
I want to make music to praise my God as long as I live.
3Do not trust influential people,
mortals who cannot help you.
4When they breathe their last breath, they return to the ground.
On that day their plans come to an end.
5Blessed are those who receive help from the God of Jacob.
Their hope rests on the Lord their God,
6who made heaven, earth,
the sea, and everything in them.
The Lord remains faithful forever.
7He brings about justice for those who are oppressed.
He gives food to those who are hungry.
The Lord sets prisoners free.
8The Lord gives sight to blind people.
The Lord straightens ⌞the backs⌟ of those who are bent over.
The Lord loves righteous people.
9The Lord protects foreigners.
The Lord gives relief to orphans and widows.
But he keeps wicked people from reaching their goal.
10The Lord rules as king forever.
Zion, your God rules throughout every generation.
Hallelujah!

Psalms 146
146
In Praise of God the Saviour
1Praise the LORD!
Praise the LORD, my soul!
2I will praise him as long as I live;
I will sing to my God all my life.
3Don't put your trust in human leaders;
no human being can save you.
4When they die, they return to the dust;
on that day all their plans come to an end.
5Happy are those who have the God of Jacob to help them
and who depend on the LORD their God,
6 #
Acts 4.24; 14.15 the Creator of heaven, earth, and sea,
and all that is in them.
He always keeps his promises;
7he judges in favour of the oppressed
and gives food to the hungry.
The LORD sets prisoners free
8and gives sight to the blind.
He lifts those who have fallen;
he loves his righteous people.
9He protects the strangers who live in our land;
he helps widows and orphans,
but takes the wicked to their ruin.
10The LORD is king for ever.
Your God, O Zion, will reign for all time.
Praise the LORD!
