Psalm 146
146
1 PRAISE THE Lord! (Hallelujah!) Praise the Lord, O my soul!
2 While I live will I praise the Lord; I will sing praises to my God while I have any being.
3 Put not your trust in princes, in a son of man, in whom there is no help.
4 When his breath leaves him, he returns to his earth; in that very day his [previous] thoughts, plans, and purposes perish. [I Cor. 2:6.]
5 Happy (blessed, fortunate, enviable) is he who has the God of [special revelation to] Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God, [Gen. 32:30.]
6 Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, Who keeps truth and is faithful forever,
7 Who executes justice for the oppressed, Who gives food to the hungry. The Lord sets free the prisoners,
8 The Lord opens the eyes of the blind, the Lord lifts up those who are bowed down, the Lord loves the [uncompromisingly] righteous (those upright in heart and in right standing with Him). [Luke 13:13; John 9:7, 32.]
9 The Lord protects and preserves the strangers and temporary residents, He upholds the fatherless and the widow and sets them upright, but the way of the wicked He makes crooked (turns upside down and brings to ruin).
10 The Lord shall reign forever, even Your God, O Zion, from generation to generation. Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!) [Ps. 10:16; Rev. 11:15.]

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.
