Psalm 146:5-10
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
5 Happy are those whose help is the God of Jacob,
whose hope is in the Lord their God,(A)
6 who made heaven and earth,
the sea, and all that is in them;
who keeps faith forever;(B)
7 who executes justice for the oppressed;
who gives food to the hungry.
The Lord sets the prisoners free;(C)
8 the Lord opens the eyes of the blind.
The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down;
the Lord loves the righteous.(D)
9 The Lord watches over the strangers;
he upholds the orphan and the widow,
but the way of the wicked he brings to ruin.(E)
10 The Lord will reign forever,
your God, O Zion, for all generations.
Praise the Lord!(F)
Psalm 146:5-10
The Voice
5 Blessed are those whose help comes from the God of Jacob,
whose hope is centered in the Eternal their God—
6 Who created the heavens, the earth,
the seas, and all that lives within them;
Who stays true and remains faithful forever;
7 Who works justice for those who are pressed down by the world,
providing food for those who are hungry.
The Eternal frees those who are imprisoned;
8 He makes the blind see.
He lifts up those whose backs are bent in labor;
He cherishes those who do what is right.
9 The Eternal looks after those who journey in a land not their own;
He takes care of the orphan and the widow,
but He frustrates the wicked along their way.
10 The Eternal will reign today, tomorrow, and forever.
People of Zion, your God will rule forever over all generations.
Praise the Eternal!
