Psalm 146:1-10
146 Praise Jah!*+
Let my whole being* praise Jehovah.+
2 I will praise Jehovah all my life.
I will sing praises* to my God as long as I live.
3 Do not put your trust in princes*Nor in a son of man, who cannot bring salvation.+
4 His spirit* goes out, he returns to the ground;+On that very day his thoughts perish.+
5 Happy is the one who has the God of Jacob as his helper,+Whose hope is in Jehovah his God,+
6 The Maker of heaven and earth,Of the sea, and of all that is in them,+The One who always remains faithful,+
7 The One securing justice for those defrauded,The One giving bread to the hungry.+
Jehovah is releasing the prisoners.*+
8 Jehovah is opening the eyes of the blind;+Jehovah is raising up those bowed down;+Jehovah loves the righteous.
9 Jehovah is protecting the foreign residents;He sustains the fatherless child and the widow,+But he thwarts the plans of the wicked.*+
10 Jehovah will be King forever,+Your God, O Zion, for generation after generation.
Praise Jah!*
