Psalms 146

¹ Hallelujah!

² Praise the LORD, my soul; I shall praise the LORD all my life, sing praise to my God while I live.

³ I Put no trust in princes, in mere mortals powerless to save.

⁴ When they breathe their last, they return to the earth; that day all their planning comes to nothing.

⁵ Happy those whose help is Jacob's God, whose hope is in the LORD, their God,

⁶ The maker of heaven and earth, the seas and all that is in them, Who keeps faith forever,

⁷ secures justice for the oppressed, gives food to the hungry. The LORD sets prisoners free;

⁸ the LORD gives sight to the blind. The LORD raises up those who are bowed down; the LORD loves the righteous.

⁹ The LORD protects the stranger, sustains the orphan and the widow, but thwarts the way of the wicked.

¹⁰ The LORD shall reign forever, your God, Zion, through all generations! Hallelujah!
