Psalm 146

1Praise the LORD!Let all that I am praise the LORD. 2 I will praise the LORD as long as I live.I will sing praises to my God with my dying breath.

3Don’t put your confidence in powerful people;there is no help for you there. 4 When they breathe their last, they return to the earth,and all their plans die with them. 5 But joyful are those who have the God of Israel Hebrew of Jacob. See note on 44:4. as their helper,whose hope is in the LORD their God. 6 He made heaven and earth,the sea, and everything in them.He keeps every promise forever. 7 He gives justice to the oppressedand food to the hungry.The LORD frees the prisoners. 8 The LORD opens the eyes of the blind.The LORD lifts up those who are weighed down.The LORD loves the godly. 9 The LORD protects the foreigners among us.He cares for the orphans and widows,but he frustrates the plans of the wicked.

10The LORD will reign forever.He will be your God, O Jerusalem, Hebrew Zion. throughout the generations.Praise the LORD!
