Psalm 146
Praise the LORD!
Praise the LORD, o my soul! And with all of my being;
I will praise him as long as I live.
I'll sing praises to God till I'm no longer breathing,
for as long as I've something to give.
Don't put trust into princes or men who have power,
for in man — there's no help for you there!
When his spirit departs, to the ground he returns then;
on that day your plans will be just air.
But, how joyful are those who have God — God of Jacob,
as their LORD on whom they can depend.
He's the maker of heaven, of earth, and the oceans;
who is faithful through time without end.
He gives helpless their justice, and food to the hungry;
he breaks chains and lets prisoners out.
He gives sight to the blind and lifts those who are burdened;
the LORD loves the upright and devout.
For the stranger and orphan and widow, he watches;
but the wicked no longer remain.
For the LORD reigns forever, he's your God, O Zion;
he, for all generations, shall reign.
