Psalms 146
Hymn to the God of help
1 Alleluia! Praise Yahweh, my soul!
2 I mean to praise Yahweh all my life, I mean to sing to my God as long as I live.
3 Do not put your trust in men in power, or in any mortal man – he cannot save,
4 he yields his breath and goes back to the earth he came from, and on that day all his schemes perish.
5 Happy the man who has the God of Jacob to help him, whose hope is fixed on Yahweh his God,
6 maker of heaven and earth, and the sea, and all that these hold! Yahweh, forever faithful,
7 gives justice to those denied it, gives food to the hungry, gives liberty to prisoners.
146:9c and frustrates the wicked.
10 Yahweh reigns for ever, your God, Zion, from age to age.
