Psalms 146
146
Our True Help
A poetic psalm by Haggai and Zechariah # 146 As translated from the Septuagint. Pss. 146–150 are called “Hallelujah Psalms” because they all begin in Hebrew with the words “Hallelujah, praise the Lord.”
1Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!
My innermost being will praise you, Lord!
2I will spend my life praising you and
singing high praises to you, my God, every day of my life!
3-4We can never look to men for help;
no matter who they are, they can’t save us,
for even our great leaders fail and fall.
They too are just mortals who will one day die.
At death the spirits of all depart and their bodies return to dust.
In the day of their death all their projects and plans are over.
5But those who hope in the Lord will be happy and pleased!
Our help comes from the God of Jacob!
6You keep all your promises.
You are the Creator of heaven’s glory,
earth’s grandeur, and the ocean’s greatness.
7The oppressed get justice with you.
The hungry are satisfied with you.
Prisoners find their freedom with you.
8You open the eyes of the blind,
and you fully restore those bent over with shame.
You love those who love and honor you.
9You watch over strangers and immigrants
and support the fatherless and widows.
But you subvert the plans of the ungodly.
10Lord, you will reign forever!
Zion’s God will rule throughout time and eternity!
Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!

PSALM 146
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1Praise God. The Lord praise, O my soul.
2I'll praise God while I live;
While I have being to my God
in songs I'll praises give.
3Trust not in princes, nor man's son,
in whom there is no stay:
4His breath departs, to's earth he turns;
that day his thoughts decay.
5O happy is that man and blest,
whom Jacob's God doth aid;
Whose hope upon the Lord doth rest,
and on his God is stay'd:
6Who made the earth and heavens high,
who made the swelling deep,
And all that is within the same;
who truth doth ever keep:
7Who righteous judgment executes
for those oppress'd that be,
Who to the hungry giveth food;
God sets the pris'ners free.
8The Lord doth give the blind their sight,
the bowed down doth raise:
The Lord doth dearly love all those
that walk in upright ways.
9The stranger's shield, the widow's stay,
the orphan's help, is he:
But yet by him the wicked's way
turn'd upside down shall be.
10The Lord shall reign for evermore:
thy God, O Sion, he
Reigns to all generations.
Praise to the Lord give ye.
