Praise the Lord, O my Soul!

1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul.

2 While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.

3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.

5 Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God:

6 Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever:

7 Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners:

8 The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous:

9 The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.

10 The LORD shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD.

Commentary

In times of trial and difficulty, it is easy to lose sight of God's goodness and faithfulness. The psalmist reminds us that God is always worthy of our praise and trust, regardless of our circumstances. He encourages us to rely on God and not on human strength, for only God can truly provide us with lasting security and hope. The psalmist also points out God's particular concern for the marginalized and oppressed, reminding us of our duty to care for those in need. Ultimately, Psalm 146 reminds us that our hope is not in ourselves, but in God alone, who reigns supreme over all things.
