PRAISE THE LORD AGIAN PRAISE THE LORD

Psalm 146

Praise the Lord

 

 Praise the Lord, I tell myself.

   I will praise the Lord as long as I live.

      I will sing praises to my God with my dying breath.

  Don’t put your confidence in powerful people;
      there is no help for you there.

  When their breathing stops, they return to the earth,
      and in a moment all their plans come to an end.

  But joyful are those who have 

the God of Israel as their helper,
      whose hope is in the Lord their God.
He made heaven and earth,
      the sea, and everything in them.
      He keeps every promise forever.

 He gives justice to the oppressed
      and food to the hungry.
   The Lord frees the prisoners.
   The Lord opens the eyes of the blind.
   The Lord lifts the burdens of  

those bent beneath their loads.

      The Lord loves the righteous.
The Lord protects the foreigners among us.
      He cares for the orphans and widows,
      but he frustrates the plans of the wicked.

The Lord will reign forever.
       O Zion, your God is King in every generation.

   Praise the Lord!

If you keep in tune with Christ, you can sing even in the dark.
