Psalm 146

Holman Christian Standard Bible

³ Do not trust in nobles,
in man, who cannot save.^(C)
4 When his breath^[a] leaves him,
he returns to the ground;
on that day his plans die.^(D)

⁵ Happy is the one whose help is the God of Jacob,
whose hope is in the Lord his God,^(E)
6 the Maker of heaven and earth,
the sea and everything in them.^(F)
He remains faithful forever,^(G)
7 executing justice for the exploited
and giving food to the hungry.^(H)
The Lord frees prisoners.^(I)
8 The Lord opens the eyes of the blind.^(J)
The Lord raises up those who are oppressed.^[b](K)
The Lord loves the righteous.^(L)
9 The Lord protects foreigners
and helps the fatherless and the widow,^(M)
but He frustrates the ways of the wicked.^(N)

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