Sálmarnir kap. 146

1 Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord, O my soul!

2 I will praise the Lord as long as I live! I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist!

3 Do not trust in princes, or in human beings, who cannot deliver!

4 Their life’s breath departs, they return to the ground; on that day their plans die.

5 How blessed is the one whose helper is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord his God,

6 the one who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, who remains forever faithful,

7 vindicates the oppressed, and gives food to the hungry. The Lord releases the imprisoned.

8 The Lord gives sight to the blind. The Lord lifts up all who are bent over. The Lord loves the godly.

9 The Lord protects those residing outside their native land; he lifts up the fatherless and the widow, but he opposes the wicked.

10 The Lord rules forever, your God, O Zion, throughout the generations to come! Praise the Lord!
