Psalm 146 - Tree of Life Version

Justice of the Kingdom

¹ Halleluyah! Praise Adonai, O my soul!

² I will praise Adonai all my life. I will praise my God yet again.

³ Do not put your trust in princes— in man, in whom there is no salvation.

⁴ His breath departs, he returns to his dust. In that very day his plans perish.

⁵ Happy is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in Adonai his God,

⁶ who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, who keeps truth forever,

⁷ who executes justice for the oppressed, who gives bread to the hungry. Adonai sets the prisoners free.

⁸ Adonai opens the eyes of the blind. Adonai raises up those who are bowed down. Adonai loves the righteous.

⁹ Adonai protects outsiders, upholds the fatherless and the widow, but thwarts the way of the wicked.

¹⁰ Adonai will reign forever, your God, O Zion, from generation to generation. Halleluyah!
