Psalms
The Psalter is Israel’s hymnbook: lament, praise, thanksgiving, royal psalms, and wisdom. It trains the heart to speak to God in trouble and in joy, and it points ahead to the Messiah.
Darby Translation
Psalms 146
1Hallelujah! Praise Jehovah, O my soul. 2As long as I live will I praise Jehovah; I will sing psalms unto myGod while I have my being. 3Put not confidence in nobles, in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation. 4His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his purposes perish. 5Blessed is he who hath theGod of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Jehovah hisGod, 6Who made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is therein; who keepeth truth for ever; 7Who executeth judgment for the oppressed, who giveth bread to the hungry. Jehovah looseth the prisoners; 8Jehovah openeth [the eyes of] the blind; Jehovah raiseth up them that are bowed down; Jehovah loveth the righteous; 9Jehovah preserveth the strangers; he lifteth up the fatherless and the widow; but the way of the wicked doth he subvert. 10Jehovah will reign for ever, [even] thyGod, O Zion, from generation to generation. Hallelujah!
