Psalms — Chapter 146
Hallelujah.Praise GOD, O my soul!
I will praise GOD all my life,sing hymns to my God while I exist.
Put not your trust in the great,in mortals who cannot save.
Their breath departs;they return to the dust;on that day their plans come to nothing.
Happy are those whose help is the God of Jacob,whose hope is in the ETERNAL their God,
maker of heaven and earth,the sea and all that is in them;who keeps faith forever;
who secures justice for those who are wronged,gives food to the hungry. GOD sets prisoners free;
GOD restores sight to the blind; GOD makes those who are bent stand straight; GOD loves the righteous;
GOD watches over the strangerand gives courage to the orphan and widow,but makes the path of the wicked tortuous.
GOD shall reign forever,your God, O Zion, for all generations.Hallelujah.
