1 Praise the LORD!
Let all that I am praise the LORD.
Let all that I am praise the LORD.
2 I will praise the LORD as long as I live.
I will sing praises to my God with my dying breath.
I will sing praises to my God with my dying breath.
3 Don’t put your confidence in powerful people;
there is no help for you there.
there is no help for you there.
4 When they breathe their last, they return to the earth,
and all their plans die with them.
and all their plans die with them.
5 But joyful are those who have the God of Israela as their helper,
whose hope is in the LORD their God.
whose hope is in the LORD their God.
8 The LORD opens the eyes of the blind.
The LORD lifts up those who are weighed down.
The LORD loves the godly.
The LORD lifts up those who are weighed down.
The LORD loves the godly.
9 The LORD protects the foreigners among us.
He cares for the orphans and widows,
but he frustrates the plans of the wicked.
He cares for the orphans and widows,
but he frustrates the plans of the wicked.
Psalms, 146 psalm
