Psalms 146

The God of Compassion

1 Hallelujah!
My soul, praise the Lord.(C1)
2 I will praise the Lord all my life;
I will sing to my God as long as I live.(C1)

3 Do not trust in nobles,
in a son of man,(F1) who cannot save.(C1)
4 When his breath(F1) leaves him,
he returns to the ground;
on that day his plans die.(C1)

5 Happy is the one whose help is the God of Jacob,
whose hope is in the Lord his God,(C1)
6 the Maker of heaven and earth,
the sea and everything in them.(C1)
He remains faithful forever,(C2)
7 executing justice for the exploited
and giving food to the hungry.(C1)
The Lord frees prisoners.(C2)
8 The Lord opens the eyes of the blind.(C1)
The Lord raises up those who are oppressed.(F1)(C2)
The Lord loves the righteous.(C3)
9 The Lord protects resident aliens
and helps the fatherless and the widow,(C1)
but he frustrates the ways of the wicked.(C2)

10 The Lord reigns forever;
Zion, your God reigns for all generations.(C1)
Hallelujah!
