Psalm 146 New King James Version (NKJV)
The Happiness of Those Whose Help Is the Lord

146 Praise the Lord!

Praise the Lord, O my soul!
2
While I live I will praise the Lord;
I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.

3
Do not put your trust in princes,
Nor in a son of man, in whom there is no help.
4
His spirit departs, he returns to his earth;
In that very day his plans perish.

5
Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help,
Whose hope is in the Lord his God,
6
Who made heaven and earth,
The sea, and all that is in them;
Who keeps truth forever,
7
Who executes justice for the oppressed,
Who gives food to the hungry.
The Lord gives freedom to the prisoners.

8
The Lord opens the eyes of the blind;
The Lord raises those who are bowed down;
The Lord loves the righteous.
9
The Lord watches over the strangers;
He relieves the fatherless and widow;
But the way of the wicked He turns upside down.

10
The Lord shall reign forever—
Your God, O Zion, to all generations.

Praise the Lord!
