Psalms 146
Easy-to-Read Version, 2006
- 1Praise the LORD! My soul, praise the LORD!
- 2I will praise the LORD all my life. I will sing praises to him as long as I live.
- 3Don’t depend on your leaders for help. Don’t depend on people, because they cannot save you.
- 4People die and are buried. Then all their plans to help are gone.
- 5It is a great blessing for people to have the God of Jacob to help them. They depend on the LORD their God.
- 6He made heaven and earth. He made the sea and everything in it. He can be trusted to do what he says.
- 7He does what is right for those who have been hurt. He gives food to the hungry. The LORD frees people locked up in prison.
- 8The LORD makes the blind see again. The LORD helps those who are in trouble. The LORD loves those who do right.
- 9The LORD protects strangers in our country. He cares for widows and orphans, but he destroys the wicked.
- 10The LORD will rule forever! Zion, your God will rule forever and ever! Praise the LORD!
