^146:1 Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord, O my soul. ^146:2 I will praise the Lord as long as I live. I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist. ^146:3 Do not trust in princes, or in human beings, who cannot deliver. ^146:4 Their life’s breath departs, they return to the ground. On that day their plans die. ^146:5 How blessed is the one whose helper is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord his God. ^146:6 The one who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, who remains forever faithful, ^146:7 vindicates the oppressed, and gives food to the hungry. The Lord releases the imprisoned. ^146:8 The Lord gives sight to the blind. The Lord lifts up all who are bent over. The Lord loves the godly. ^146:9 The Lord protects the resident foreigner. He lifts up the fatherless and the widow, but he opposes the wicked. ^146:10 The Lord rules forever, your God, O Zion, throughout the generations to come. Praise the Lord!
