Psalms 146



146 <1> Praise the Lord!

My soul, praise the Lord!

<2> I will praise the Lord all my life.

I will sing praises to him as long as I live.

<3> Don't depend on your leaders for help.

Don't depend on people because they cannot save you.

<4> People die and are buried.

Then all their plans to help are gone.

<5> But those who ask God for help will be blessed.

They depend on the Lord their God.

<6> He made heaven and earth.

He made the sea and everything in it.

He can be trusted to do what he says.

<7> He does what is right

for those who have been hurt.

He gives food to the hungry.

The Lord frees people locked up in prison.

<8> The Lord makes the blind see again.

The Lord helps those who are in trouble.

The Lord loves those who do right.

<9> The Lord protects strangers in our country.

He cares for widows and orphans,

but he destroys the wicked.

<10> The Lord will rule forever!

Zion,[666] your God will rule forever and ever!
