Psalm 146
1 Hallelujah!
My soul, praise the Lord.b
2 I will praise the Lord all my life;
I will sing to my God as long as I live.c
in a son of man,A who cannot save.d
4 When his breathB leaves him,
he returns to the ground;
on that day his plans die.e
5 Happy is the one whose help is the God of Jacob,
whose hope is in the Lord his God,f
6 the Maker of heaven and earth,
the sea and everything in them.g
He remains faithful forever,h
7 executing justice for the exploited
and giving food to the hungry.i
The Lord frees prisoners.j
8 The Lord opens the eyes of the blind.k
The Lord raises up those who are oppressed.C,l
The Lord loves the righteous.m
9 The Lord protects resident aliens
and helps the fatherless and the widow,n
but he frustrates the ways of the wicked.o
Zion, your God reigns for all generations.p
Hallelujah!
