Psalms 146 — AAB

Praise the LORD, O My Soul

146Verse 1Hallelujah!⁺
Praise the LORD, O my soul.^{Verse 2}I will praise the LORD all my life;I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.^{Verse 3}Put not your trust in princes,in mortal man, who cannot save.^{Verse 4}When his breath⁺departs, he returns to the ground;on that very day his thoughts perish.^{Verse 5}Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob,whose hope is in the LORD his God,^{Verse 6}the Maker of heaven and earth,the sea, and everything in them.
He remains faithful forever.^{Verse 7}He executes justice for the oppressedand gives food to the hungry.The LORD sets the prisoners free,^{Verse 8}the LORD opens the eyes of the blind,the LORD lifts those who are weighed down,the LORD loves the righteous.^{Verse 9}The LORD protects foreigners;He sustains the fatherless and the widow,
but the ways of the wicked He frustrates.^{Verse 10}The LORD reigns forever,your God, O Zion, for all generations.
Hallelujah!
