Psalms 146
The psalmist voweth perpetual praises to God.
Psalms 146:1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul. Psalms 146:2 While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.
He exhorteth not to trust in man.
Psalms 146:3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. Psalms 146:4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.
God, for his power, justice, mercy, and Kingdom, is only worthy to be trusted.
Psalms 146:5 Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God: Psalms 146:6 Which made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is; which keepeth truth for ever: Psalms 146:7 Which executeth judgment for the oppressed; which giveth food to the hungry: the LORD looseth the prisoners; Psalms 146:8 The LORD openeth [the eyes of] the blind; the LORD raiseth up them that are bowed down; the LORD loveth the righteous; Psalms 146:9 The LORD preserveth the strangers; he upholdeth the fatherless and widow; but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down. Psalms 146:10 The LORD shall reign for ever, thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD.
