Psalm 146:5–147:1

Instead, get help from the God of Jacob,

put your hope in God and know real blessing!

God made sky and soil,

sea and all the fish in it.

He always does what he says—

he defends the wronged,

he feeds the hungry.

God frees prisoners—

he gives sight to the blind,

he lifts up the fallen.

God loves good people, protects strangers,

takes the side of orphans and widows,

but makes short work of the wicked.

¹⁰God’s in charge—always.

Zion’s God is God for good!

Hallelujah!

¹147Hallelujah!

It’s a good thing to sing praise to our God;

praise is beautiful, praise is fitting.
