<< Psalm 146 >>

The LORD an Abundant Helper.

1 Praise the LORD!
         Praise the LORD, O my soul!
2 I will praise the LORD while I live;
         I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.
3 Do not trust in princes,
         In mortal man, in whom there is no salvation.
4 His spirit departs, he returns to the earth;
         In that very day his thoughts perish.
5 How blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob,
         Whose hope is in the LORD his God,
6 Who made heaven and earth,
         The sea and all that is in them;
         Who keeps faith forever;
7 Who executes justice for the oppressed;
         Who gives food to the hungry.
         The LORD sets the prisoners free.
8 The LORD opens the eyes of the blind;
         The LORD raises up those who are bowed down;
         The LORD loves the righteous;
9 The LORD protects the strangers;
         He supports the fatherless and the widow,
         But He thwarts the way of the wicked.
10 The LORD will reign forever,
         Your God, O Zion, to all generations.
         Praise the LORD!
