Psalm 146
Praise the Lord!
Let all that I am praise the Lord.
I will praise the Lord as long as I live.�
I will sing praises to my God with my dying breath.
Don’t put your confidence in powerful people;�
there is no help for you there.
When they breathe their last, they return to the earth,�
and all their plans die with them.
But joyful are those who have the God of Israel as their helper,�whose hope is in the Lord their God.
He made heaven and earth,�
the sea, and everything in them.�
He keeps every promise forever.
He gives justice to the oppressed�
and food to the hungry.�The Lord frees the prisoners.
The Lord opens the eyes of the blind.�
The Lord lifts up those who are weighed down.�
The Lord loves the godly.
The Lord protects the foreigners among us.�
He cares for the orphans and widows,�
but he frustrates the plans of the wicked.
The Lord will reign forever.�
He will be your God, O Jerusalem, throughout the generations.
Praise the Lord!
