146:2 I will praise the Lord all my life; I will sing to my God as long as I live.
146:3 Do not trust in nobles, in a son of man, who cannot save.
146:4 When his breath leaves him, he returns to the ground; on that day his plans die.
146:5 Happy is the one whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord his God,
146:6 the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea and everything in them. He remains faithful forever,
146:7 executing justice for the exploited and giving food to the hungry. The Lord frees prisoners.
146:8 The Lord opens the eyes of the blind. The Lord raises up those who are oppressed. The Lord loves the righteous.
146:9 The Lord protects resident aliens and helps the fatherless and the widow, but he frustrates the ways of the wicked.
146:10 The Lord reigns forever; Zion, your God reigns for all generations. Hallelujah!
