146:1 Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD, O my soul! |
146:2 I will praise the LORD while I live; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being. |
146:3 Do not trust in princes, In mortal man, in whom no salvation exists. |
146:4 His spirit departs, he returns to the earth; In that very day his thoughts perish. |
146:5 How He blesses those who trusts the God of Jacob, Who hopes in the LORD his God, |
146:6 Who made heaven and earth, The sea and all that lives in them; Who keeps faith forever; |
146:7 Who executes justice for the oppressed; Who gives food to the hungry The LORD sets the prisoners free. |
146:8 The LORD opens the eyes of the blind; The LORD raises up those who have become bowed down; The LORD loves the righteous; |
146:9 The LORD protects the strangers; He supports the fatherless and the widow, But He thwarts the way of the wicked. |
146:10 The LORD will reign forever, Your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise the LORD! |
