146:1 Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord, O my soul.
146:2 I will praise the Lord as long as I live. I will make music to my God as long as I exist.
146:3 Do not trust in human helpers, in a mortal man who cannot save you.
146:4 His spirit departs. He returns to the ground he came from. On that day, his plans have perished.
146:5 Blessed is everyone who has the God of Jacob as his help. His hope is in the Lord his God,
146:6 the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything which is in them. He is the one who stays faithful forever.
146:7 He obtains justice for the oppressed. He gives food to the hungry. The Lord releases prisoners.
146:8 The Lord opens the eyes of the blind. The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down. The Lord loves the righteous.
146:9 The Lord watches over the aliens. The fatherless and the widow he sustains, but he turns aside the way of the wicked.
146:10 The Lord reigns forever. Your God, O Zion, rules for all generations. Praise the Lord.
