Psalm 146

Common English Bible CEB

1 Praise the LORD! Let my whole being praise the LORD!

2 I will praise the LORD with all my life; I will sing praises to my God as long as I live.

3 Don't trust leaders; don't trust any human beings— there's no saving help with them!

4 Their breath leaves them, then they go back to the ground. On that very same day, their plans die too.

5 The person whose help is the God of Jacob— the person whose hope rests on the LORD their God— is truly happy!

6 God: the maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, God: who is faithful forever,

7 who gives justice to people who are oppressed, who gives bread to people who are starving! The LORD: who frees prisoners.

8 The LORD: who makes the blind see. The LORD: who straightens up those who are bent low. The LORD: who loves the righteous.

9 The LORD: who protects immigrants, who helps orphans and widows, but who makes the way of the wicked twist and turn!

10 The LORD will rule forever! Zion, your God will rule from one generation to the next! Praise the LORD!

The Message Bible MSG

1 Hallelujah! O my soul, praise God!

2 All my life long I'll praise God, singing songs to my God as long as I live.

3 Don't put your life in the hands of experts who know nothing of life, of salvation life.

4 Mere humans don't have what it takes; when they die, their projects die with them.

5 Instead, get help from the God of Jacob, put your hope in God and know real blessing!

6 God made sky and soil, sea and all the fish in it. He always does what he says -

7 he defends the wronged, he feeds the hungry. God frees prisoners -

8 he gives sight to the blind, he lifts up the fallen.

9 protects strangers, takes the side of orphans and widows, but makes short work of the wicked.

10 God's in charge - always. Zion's God is God for good! Hallelujah!
