Put Not Your Trust in Princes 146 Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord, O my soul! 2 I will praise the Lord as long as I live; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.
3 Put not your trust in princes, in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation. 4 When his breath departs, he returns to the earth; on that very day his plans perish.
5 Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord his God, 6 who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, who keeps faith forever; 7 who executes justice for the oppressed, who gives food to the hungry.
The Lord sets the prisoners free; 8 the Lord opens the eyes of the blind. The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down; the Lord loves the righteous. 9 The Lord watches over the sojourners; he upholds the widow and the fatherless, but the way of the wicked he brings to ruin.
10 The Lord will reign forever, your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise the Lord!
Thank you for posting!
What a beautiful Psalm. Full of God’s promises.
Regardless of who is in the WH God is God and in charge.
Amen.
Great Psalm
Thank you.
One of my personal mottos and also my tagline.
May be a different Psalm number in different Bibles.
Ann Barnhardt cited another number when she quoted this verse. I wrote to her and mentioned that I was very familiar with it and it was #146 because a Holocaust survivor at my synagogue would always recite this verse aloud (in Hebrew, when others were reading silently.) Ann wrote back to me that her (Catholic) set of 150 Psalms was slightly different from ours.

A wonderful reading.
Puts everything in perspective!
Thank you. Psalm 91:5.
Amen....
