Psalm 146:1-10 - Praise To Yahweh For His Help

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!
