Context

Psalm 146

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 sing praises to my God as long as I exist! 146:3 Do not trust in princes, or in human beings, who cannot deliver! 146:4 Their life’s breath departs, they return to the ground; on that day their plans die. 146:5 How blessed is the one whose helper is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord his God, 146:6 the one who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, who remains forever faithful, 146:7 vindicates the oppressed, and gives food to the hungry. The Lord releases the imprisoned. 146:8 The Lord gives sight to the blind. The Lord lifts up all who are bent over. The Lord loves the godly. 146:9 The Lord protects those residing outside their native land; he lifts up the fatherless and the widow, but he opposes the wicked. 146:10 The Lord rules forever, your God, O Zion, throughout the generations to come! Praise the Lord!
