Praise for God’s Help

146 Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord, O my soul!
I will praise the Lord as long as I live;
    I will sing praises to my God while I have being.

Put not your trust in princes,
    in a son of man, in whom there is no help.
When his breath departs he returns to his earth;
    on that very day his plans perish.

Happy is he whose help is the God of Jacob,
    whose hope is in the Lord his God,
who made heaven and earth,
    the sea, and all that is in them;
who keeps faith for ever;
    who executes justice for the oppressed;
    who gives food to the hungry.

The Lord sets the prisoners free;
    the Lord opens the eyes of the blind.
The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down;
    the Lord loves the righteous.
The Lord watches over the sojourners,
    he upholds the widow and the fatherless;
    but the way of the wicked he brings to ruin.

10 The Lord will reign for ever,
    thy God, O Zion, to all generations.
Praise the Lord!

Inno al Dio che soccorre

146 Alleluia.

Loda il Signore, anima mia:
loderò il Signore per tutta la mia vita,
finché vivo canterò inni al mio Dio.

Non confidate nei potenti,
in un uomo che non può salvare.
Esala lo spirito e ritorna alla terra;
in quel giorno svaniscono tutti i suoi disegni.

Beato chi ha per aiuto il Dio di Giacobbe,
chi spera nel Signore suo Dio,
creatore del cielo e della terra,
del mare e di quanto contiene.
Egli è fedele per sempre,
rende giustizia agli oppressi,
dà il pane agli affamati.

Il Signore libera i prigionieri,
il Signore ridona la vista ai ciechi,
il Signore rialza chi è caduto,
il Signore ama i giusti,
il Signore protegge lo straniero,
egli sostiene l'orfano e la vedova,
ma sconvolge le vie degli empi.

10 Il Signore regna per sempre,
il tuo Dio, o Sion, per ogni generazione.

Psalm 146

Praise the Lord.[a]

Praise the Lord,(A) my soul.

I will praise the Lord all my life;(B)
    I will sing praise(C) to my God as long as I live.(D)
Do not put your trust in princes,(E)
    in human beings,(F) who cannot save.
When their spirit departs, they return to the ground;(G)
    on that very day their plans come to nothing.(H)
Blessed are those(I) whose help(J) is the God of Jacob,
    whose hope is in the Lord their God.

He is the Maker of heaven(K) and earth,
    the sea, and everything in them—
    he remains faithful(L) forever.
He upholds(M) the cause of the oppressed(N)
    and gives food to the hungry.(O)
The Lord sets prisoners free,(P)
    the Lord gives sight(Q) to the blind,(R)
the Lord lifts up those who are bowed down,(S)
    the Lord loves the righteous.(T)
The Lord watches over the foreigner(U)
    and sustains the fatherless(V) and the widow,(W)
    but he frustrates the ways of the wicked.

10 The Lord reigns(X) forever,
    your God, O Zion, for all generations.

Praise the Lord.
