Psalm 146

MSG

WEB

1 Hallelujah! O my soul, praise God!
1 Praise Yah! Praise Yahweh, my soul.
2 All my life long I'll praise God, singing songs to my God as long as I live.
2 While I live, I will praise Yahweh. I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.
3 Don't put your life in the hands of experts who know nothing of life, of salvation life.
3 Don't put your trust in princes, Each a son of man in whom there is no help.
4 Mere humans don't have what it takes; when they die, their projects die with them.
4 His spirit departs, and he returns to the earth. In that very day, his thoughts perish.
5 Instead, get help from the God of Jacob, put your hope in God and know real blessing!
5 Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, Whose hope is in Yahweh, his God:
6 God made sky and soil, sea and all the fish in it. He always does what he says -
6 Who made heaven and earth, The sea, and all that is in them; Who keeps truth forever;
7 he defends the wronged, he feeds the hungry. God frees prisoners -
7 Who executes justice for the oppressed; Who gives food to the hungry. Yahweh frees the prisoners.
8 he gives sight to the blind, he lifts up the fallen.
8 Yahweh opens the eyes of the blind. Yahweh raises up those who are bowed down. Yahweh loves the righteous.
9 protects strangers, takes the side of orphans and widows, but makes short work of the wicked.
9 Yahweh preserves the sojourners. He upholds the fatherless and widow, But the way of the wicked he turns upside down.
10 God's in charge - always. Zion's God is God for good! Hallelujah!
10 Yahweh will reign forever; Your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise Yah!
