Psalm 146Ā Christian Standard Bible (CSB)š
Ā “The God of Compassion”š
1Ā Hallelujah!
My soul, praise theĀ Lord.
2Ā I will praise theĀ LordĀ all my life;
I will sing to my God as long as I live.
3Ā Do not trust in nobles,
in a son of man, who cannot save.
4Ā When his breath leaves him,
he returns to the ground;
on that day his plans die.
5Ā Happy is the one whose help is the God of Jacob,
whose hope is in theĀ LordĀ his God,
6Ā the Maker of heaven and earth,
the sea and everything in them.
He remains faithful forever,
7Ā executing justice for the exploited
and giving food to the hungry.
TheĀ LordĀ frees prisoners.
8Ā TheĀ LordĀ opens the eyes of the blind.
TheĀ LordĀ raises up those who are oppressed.
TheĀ LordĀ loves the righteous.
9Ā TheĀ LordĀ protects resident aliens
and helps the fatherless and the widow,
but he frustrates the ways of the wicked.
10Ā TheĀ LordĀ reigns forever;
Zion, your God reigns for all generations.
Hallelujah!š
