Psalms 146:1-7, New Living Translation
Psalm 146
1 Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD, I tell myself.
2 I will praise the LORD as long as I live.
I will sing praises to my God even with my dying breath.
3 Don't put your confidence in powerful people;
there is no help for you there.
4 When their breathing stops, they return to the earth,
and in a moment all their plans come to an end.
5 But happy are those who have the God of Israel[1][Hebrew of Jacob. ] as their helper,
whose hope is in the LORD their God.
6 He is the one who made heaven and earth,
the sea, and everything in them.
He is the one who keeps every promise forever,
7 who gives justice to the oppressed and food to the hungry.
The LORD frees the prisoners.
