Psalm 146
The Happiness of Those Whose Help Is the LORD
1 Praise the LORD!


Praise the LORD, O my soul!
2 While I live I will praise the LORD;
I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.


3 Do not put your trust in princes,
Nor in a son of man, in whom there is no help.

4 His spirit departs, he returns to his earth;
In that very day his plans perish.


5 Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help,
Whose hope is in the LORD his God,

6 Who made heaven and earth,
The sea, and all that is in them;
Who keeps truth forever,

7 Who executes justice for the oppressed,
Who gives food to the hungry.
The LORD gives freedom to the prisoners.


8 The LORD opens the eyes of the blind;
The LORD raises those who are bowed down;
The LORD loves the righteous.

9 The LORD watches over the strangers;
He relieves the fatherless and widow;
But the way of the wicked He turns upside down.


10 The LORD shall reign forever—
Your God, O Zion, to all generations.


Praise the LORD!
