Psalm 146

CM

Praise God. Praise God, my soul, O praise,
I’ll praise God all my days.
Throughout my life I’ll sing his praise,
I'll sing his praise always.

In princes do not put your trust,
In men who'll save you not.
When they expire, they turn to dust,
Their every plan will rot.

If Jacob's God's your help, how blessed,
Your hope's in God, your God.
He made the earth, sky, sea, the rest,
He's faithful to the end.

He justly deals with those oppressed,
Feeds hungering ones, he's kind.
The Lord the prisoner has released,
The Lord he heals the blind.

The Lord exalts those who bow low,
The Lord loves righteous men,
Sustains the orphan and widow,
Protects the alien.

But as for wicked men, their ways
He will frustrate and thwart.
God reigns forever, endless days,
O Zion. Praise the Lord.
