Put Not Your Trust in Princes
146Praise Jehovah. Praise Jehovah, O my soul.
2
While I live I will praise Jehovah; I will sing praises to my God while I have any being.
3
Do not put your trust in princes, nor in the son of man in whom there is no salvation.
4
His breath goes forth; he returns to the earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.
5
Blessed is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose help is in Jehovah his God,
6
who made the heavens and earth, the sea and all that is in it; who keeps truth forever;
7
who carries out judgment for the mistreated; who gives food to the hungry. Jehovah lets the prisoners loose;
8
the Lord opens the eyes of the blind; Jehovah raises those who are bowed down; Jehovah loves the righteous;
9
Jehovah preserves the strangers; He relieves the orphan and widow, but the way of the wicked He turns upside down.
10
Jehovah shall reign forever, even your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise Jehovah!
