Chapter 146
- Put Not Your Trust in Princes Praise the Lord! Praise the Adonai, O my soul!
- I will praise the Lord as long as I live; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.
- Put not your trust in princes, in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation.
- When his breath departs, he returns to the earth; on that very day his plans perish.
- Blessed is he whose help is the Elohim of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord his God,
- who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, who keeps faith forever;
- who executes justice for the oppressed, who gives food to the hungry. The Lord sets the prisoners free;
- the Lord opens the eyes of the blind. The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down; the Lord loves the righteous.
- The Lord watches over the sojourners; he upholds the widow and the fatherless, but the way of the wicked he brings to ruin.
- The Lord will reign forever, your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise the Lord!
