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!

Justice of the Kingdom
1Halleluyah! Praise Adonai, O my soul!
2I will praise Adonai all my life. I will praise my God yet again.
3Do not put your trust in princes— in man, in whom there is no salvation.
4His breath departs, he returns to his dust. In that very day his plans perish.
5Happy is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in Adonai his God,
6who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, who keeps truth forever,
7who executes justice for the oppressed, who gives bread to the hungry. Adonai sets the prisoners free.
8Adonai opens the eyes of the blind. Adonai raises up those who are bowed down. Adonai loves the righteous.
9Adonai protects outsiders, upholds the fatherless and the widow, but thwarts the way of the wicked.
10Adonai will reign forever, your God, O Zion, from generation to generation. Halleluyah!
