Psalms 146:1-7

Praise the LORD! (Hallelujah!) Praise the LORD, O my soul! While I live I will praise the LORD; I will sing praises to my God as long as I live. Do not trust in princes, In mortal man, in whom there is no salvation (help). When his spirit leaves him, he returns to the earth; In that very day his thoughts and plans perish. [1 Cor 2:6] How blessed and graciously favored is he whose help is the God of Jacob (Israel), Whose hope is in the LORD his God, [Gen 32:30] Who made heaven and earth, The sea, and all that is in them, Who keeps truth and is faithful forever, [Gen 1:3] Who executes justice for the oppressed, Who gives food to the hungry. The LORD sets free the prisoners.
