146:2 I will praise him as long as I live, yes, even with my dying breath.
146:3 Don’t look to men for help; their greatest leaders fail;
146:4 for every man must die. His breathing stops, life ends, and in a moment all he planned for himself is ended.
146:5 But happy is the man who has the God of Jacob as his helper, whose hope is in the Lord his God—
146:6 the God who made both earth and heaven, the seas and everything in them. He is the God who keeps every promise,
146:7 who gives justice to the poor and oppressed and food to the hungry. He frees the prisoners
146:8 and opens the eyes of the blind; he lifts the burdens from those bent down beneath their loads. For the Lord loves good men.
146:9 He protects the immigrants and cares for the orphans and widows. But he turns topsy-turvy the plans of the wicked.
146:10 The Lord will reign forever. O Jerusalem, your God is King in every generation! Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!
