146 psalm — Библия — New King James Version

The Happiness of Those Whose Help Is the Lord

¹ Praise[a] the Lord!
Praise the Lord, O my soul!

² While I live I will praise the Lord;
I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.

³ Do not put your trust in princes,
Nor in [b]a son of man, in whom there is no [c]help.

⁴ His spirit departs, he returns to his earth;
In that very day his plans perish.

⁵ Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help,
Whose hope is in the Lord his God,

⁶ Who made heaven and earth,
The sea, and all that is in them;
Who keeps truth forever,

⁷ Who executes justice for the oppressed,
Who gives food to the hungry.
The Lord gives freedom to the prisoners.

⁸ The Lord opens the eyes of the blind;
The Lord raises those who are bowed down;
The Lord loves the righteous.

⁹ The Lord watches over the strangers;
He relieves the fatherless and widow;
But the way of the wicked He [d]turns upside down.

¹⁰ The Lord shall reign forever —
Your God, O Zion, to all generations.
Praise the Lord!
