Psalm 146:1-10
Hallelujah!
Praise the Lord, my
soul!
I want to praise the
Lord throughout my life.
I want to make music
to praise my God as long as I live.
Do not trust
influential people,
mortals who cannot
help you.
When they breathe
their last breath, they return to the ground.
On that day their
plans come to an end.
Blessed are those who
receive help from the God of Jacob.
Their hope rests on
the Lord their God,
who made heaven,
earth,
the sea, and
everything in them.
The Lord remains
faithful forever.
He brings about
justice for those who are oppressed.
He gives food to those
who are hungry.
The Lord sets
prisoners free.
The Lord gives sight
to blind people.
The Lord straightens
{the backs} of those who are bent over.
The Lord loves
righteous people.
The Lord protects
foreigners.
The Lord gives relief
to orphans and widows.
But he keeps wicked
people from reaching their goal.
The Lord rules as
king forever.
Hallelujah! (GWT)
