Psalm 146:5-10
The Message
3-9 Don’t put your life in the hands of experts
who know nothing of life, of salvation life.
Mere humans don’t have what it takes;
when they die, their projects die with them.
Instead, get help from the God of Jacob,
put your hope in God and know real blessing!
God made sky and soil,
sea and all the fish in it.
He always does what he says—
he defends the wronged,
he feeds the hungry.
God frees prisoners—
he gives sight to the blind,
he lifts up the fallen.
God loves good people, protects strangers,
takes the side of orphans and widows,
but makes short work of the wicked.
10 God’s in charge—always.
Zion’s God is God for good!
Hallelujah!
Psalm 146:5-10
New International Version
6 He is the Maker of heaven(C) and earth,
the sea, and everything in them—
he remains faithful(D) forever.
7 He upholds(E) the cause of the oppressed(F)
and gives food to the hungry.(G)
The Lord sets prisoners free,(H)
8 the Lord gives sight(I) to the blind,(J)
the Lord lifts up those who are bowed down,(K)
the Lord loves the righteous.(L)
9 The Lord watches over the foreigner(M)
and sustains the fatherless(N) and the widow,(O)
but he frustrates the ways of the wicked.
10 The Lord reigns(P) forever,
your God, O Zion, for all generations.
Praise the Lord.
