Psalms 146

English Standard Version ESV

1 Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD, O my soul!

2 I will praise the LORD as long as I live; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.

3 Put not your trust in princes, in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation.

4 When his breath departs, he returns to the earth; on that very day his plans perish.

5 Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD his God,

6 who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, who keeps faith forever;

7 who executes justice for the oppressed, who gives food to the hungry.The LORD sets the prisoners free;

8 the LORD opens the eyes of the blind. The LORD lifts up those who are bowed down; the LORD loves the righteous.

9 The LORD watches over the sojourners; he upholds the widow and the fatherless, but the way of the wicked he brings to ruin.

10 The LORD will reign forever, your God, O Zion, to all generations. 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!
