Psalm 146

English Standard Version

### Put Not Your Trust in Princes

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

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

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

The Lord sets the prisoners free;
8  the Lord opens the eyes of the blind.
The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down;
 the Lord loves the righteous.
9 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 forever,
 your God, O Zion, to all generations.
Praise the Lord!
