<< Psalm 146 >> New American Standard Bible © The LORD an Abundant Helper. 1 Praise the LORD!  Praise the LORD, O my soul! 2 I will praise the LORD while I live;  I will sing praises to my God while I have my being. 3 Do not trust in princes,  In mortal man, in whom there is no salvation. 4 His spirit departs, he returns to the earth;  In that very day his thoughts perish. 5 How 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 raises up those who are bowed down;  The LORD loves the righteous; 9 The LORD protects the strangers;  He supports the fatherless and the widow,  But He thwarts the way of the wicked. 10 The LORD will reign forever,  Your God, O Zion, to all generations.  Praise the LORD!
