Psalm 146
English Standard Version
Put Not Your Trust in Princes
146 (A)Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord, O my soul!
2 I will praise the Lord (B)as long as I live;
(C)I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.
3 (D)Put not your trust in princes,
(E)in a son of man, in whom there is (F)no salvation.
4 When (G)his breath departs, he returns to the earth;
on that very day his plans perish.
5 (H)Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob,
whose (I)hope is in the Lord his God,
6 (J)who made heaven and earth,
the sea, and all that is in them,
(K)who keeps faith forever;
7 (L)who executes justice for the oppressed,
(M)who gives food to the hungry.
Psalm 146
Revised Geneva Translation
146 Praise the LORD, O my soul!
2 I will praise the LORD during my life. As long as I have any being, I will sing to my God.
3 Do not put your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, for there is no help in him.
4 His breath departs. He returns to his earth. Then, his thoughts perish.
5 Blessed is he who has the God of Jacob for his help; whose hope is in the LORD his God,
6 Who made Heaven and Earth, the sea, and all that therein is. Who keeps his fidelity forever.
7 Who executes justice for the oppressed, Who gives bread to the hungry. The LORD frees the prisoners.
8 The LORD gives sight to the blind. The LORD raises up the crooked. The LORD loves the righteous.
9 The LORD keeps the strangers. He relieves the fatherless and widow; but He overthrows the way of the wicked.
10 The LORD shall reign forever! O Zion, your God endures from generation to generation. Praise the LORD!
