Hallelujah!
My soul, praise the LORD.
2 I will praise the LORD all my life;
I will sing to my God as long as I live.
3 Do not trust in nobles,
in a son of man, who cannot save.
4 When his breath leaves him,
he returns to the ground;
on that day his plans die.
5 Happy is the one whose help is the God of Jacob,
whose hope is in the LORD his God,
6 the Maker of heaven and earth,
the sea and everything in them.
He remains faithful forever,
7 executing justice for the exploited
and giving food to the hungry.
The LORD frees prisoners.
8 The LORD opens the eyes of the blind.
The LORD raises up those who are oppressed.
The LORD loves the righteous.
9 The LORD protects resident aliens
and helps the fatherless and the widow,
but he frustrates the ways of the wicked.
10 The LORD reigns forever;
Zion, your God reigns for all generations.
Hallelujah!
Psalms 146:1-10 (CSB)
