Psalms 146

Psalm 146 calls for lifelong praise to **YHWH** from the soul, warns against trusting in princes (נְדִיבִים) whose plans perish at death, and declares blessing on those whose hope is in the God of Jacob, Creator of heaven, earth, and sea, who faithfully upholds the oppressed, feeds the hungry, frees prisoners, gives sight to the blind, lifts the bowed down, loves the righteous, protects sojourners, widows, and orphans, while frustrating the wicked.[1][2][3] It concludes affirming that **YHWH** reigns forever over Zion to all generations, with a final 'Praise **YHWH**!'[1][2]
