Psalms 146:4-10

⁴And when they die, their corpses decay and become soil again. After they die, they can no longer do the things that they planned to do.

⁵But those whose helper is the God whom Jacob worshiped are happy. The one whom they confidently expect to help them is Yahweh, their God.

⁶He is the one who created heaven and the earth and the oceans and all the creatures that are in them. He always does what he has promised to do.

⁷He decides matters fairly for those who are ◄treated unfairly/oppressed►, and he provides food for those who are hungry. He frees those who are in prison.

⁸Yahweh enables those who are blind to see again. He lifts up those who have fallen down. He loves righteous people.

⁹Yahweh takes care of those from other countries who live in our land, and he helps widows and orphans. But he gets rid of wicked people.

¹⁰Yahweh will continue to be our king forever; you people of Israel, your God will rule forever! Praise Yahweh!
