Psalm
Chapters 146
Amplified Bible
1PRAISE THE Lord! (Hallelujah!) Praise the Lord, O my soul!
2While I live will I praise the Lord; I will sing praises to my God while I have any being.
3Put not your trust in princes, in a son of man, in whom there is no help.
4When his breath leaves him, he returns to his earth; in that very day his [previous] thoughts, plans, and purposes perish. [I Cor. 2:6.]
5Happy (blessed, fortunate, enviable) is he who has the God of [special revelation to] Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God, [Gen. 32:30.]
6Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, Who keeps truth and is faithful forever,
7Who executes justice for the oppressed, Who gives food to the hungry. The Lord sets free the prisoners,
8The Lord opens the eyes of the blind, the Lord lifts up those who are bowed down, the Lord loves the [uncompromisingly] righteous (those upright in heart and in right standing with Him). [Luke 13:13; John 9:7, 32.]
9The Lord protects and preserves the strangers and temporary residents, He upholds the fatherless and the widow and sets them upright, but the way of the wicked He makes crooked (turns upside down and brings to ruin).
10The Lord shall reign forever, even Your God, O Zion, from generation to generation. Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!) [Ps. 10:16; Rev. 11:15.]
