Psalms 146

Praise the LORD. Praise the LORD, my soul. I'll praise the LORD as long as I live; I'll sing praises to my God while I have breath. Don't put your trust in princes, or in any human being who cannot save. His breath leaves him, he returns to the earth, and that very day his plans perish.

Don't put your trust in nobles

Praise the LORD. Praise the LORD, my soul. I'll praise the LORD as long as I live; I'll sing praises to my God while I have breath. Don't put your trust in princes, or in any human being who cannot save. His breath leaves him, he returns to the earth, and that very day his plans perish. Blessed is the one whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD his God, who made heaven and earth, the sea and everything in them, and who keeps truth forever; who brings judgment for the oppressed and gives food to the hungry. The LORD sets the prisoners free. The LORD opens the eyes of the blind. The LORD lifts up those who are bowed down. The LORD loves the righteous. The LORD preserves the strangers; he relieves orphans and the widow, but he turns the way of the wicked upside down. The LORD will reign forever — your God, O Zion, through every generation. Praise the LORD.

Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord, my soul. I'll praise the Lord while I live. I'll sing praises to my God while I've got any being. Don't put your trust in nobles or in a son of man, who can't save. His breath goes out and he goes back to his earth. On that very day his plans are finished. Happy is the one who's got the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God — who made heaven and earth, the sea and everything in them, who keeps truth forever, who does judgment for the crushed, who gives food to the hungry. The Lord lets the prisoners go free. The Lord opens the eyes of the blind. The Lord lifts up the ones who are bent down. The Lord loves the righteous. The Lord keeps the strangers. He holds up the orphan and the widow, but he turns the way of the wicked upside down. The Lord will reign forever — your God, Zion, for every generation. Praise the Lord.

Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul. While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being. Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish. Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God: Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever: Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners: The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous: The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down. The LORD shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD.
