Psalm 146:3-10

³Do not put your trust in princes,
        Nor in a son of man, in whom there is no help.

 
        ⁴His spirit departs, he returns to his earth;
        In that very day his plans perish.


        ⁵Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help,
        Whose hope is in the LORD his God,

 
        ⁶Who made heaven and earth,
        The sea, and all that is in them;
        Who keeps truth forever,

        ⁷Who executes justice for the oppressed,
        Who gives food to the hungry.
        The LORD gives freedom to the prisoners.


        ⁸The LORD opens the eyes of the blind;
        The LORD raises those who are bowed down;
        The LORD loves the righteous.

        ⁹The LORD watches over the strangers;
        He relieves the fatherless and widow;
        But the way of the wicked He turns upside down.


        ¹⁰The LORD shall reign forever--
        Your God, O Zion, to all generations.


        Praise the LORD!
