Meaning First Bible · Psalms · chapter 146 of 150

1Praise He-Who-Is! Praise He-Who-Is, O my soul.

2I will praise He-Who-Is all my life; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.

3Put not your trust in princes, in mortal man, who cannot save.

4When his spirit departs, he returns to the ground; on that very day his plans perish.

5Blessed is he whose help is the God of Heel-Grabber, whose hope is in He-Who-Is his God,

6the Maker of heaven and earth, the Sea, and everything in them. He remains faithful forever.

7He executes justice for the oppressed and gives food to the hungry. He-Who-Is sets the prisoners free,

8He-Who-Is opens the eyes of the blind, He-Who-Is lifts those who are weighed down, He-Who-Is loves the righteous.

9He-Who-Is protects foreigners; He sustains the fatherless and the widow, but the ways of the wicked He frustrates.

10He-Who-Is reigns forever, your God, O Marker, for all generations. Praise He-Who-Is!
