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