Psalms 146:3-8
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 146
3Do not trust in noblemen, In mortal man, in whom there is no salvation. 4His spirit departs, he returns to the earth; On that very day his plans perish. 5Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, Whose hope is in the Lord his God, 6Who made heaven and earth, The sea and everything that is in them; Who keeps faith forever; 7Who executes justice for the oppressed; Who gives food to the hungry. The Lord frees the prisoners. 8The Lord opens the eyes of those who are blind; The Lord raises up those who are bowed down; The Lord loves the righteous.King James Version
Chapter 146
3Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. 4His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.
5Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God:
6Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever:
7Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners:
8The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous:
Christian Standard Bible
4When his breath leaves him, he returns to the ground; on that day his plans die.
5Happy is the one whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord his God,
6the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea and everything in them. He remains faithful forever,
7executing justice for the exploited and giving food to the hungry. The Lord frees prisoners.
8The Lord opens the eyes of the blind. The Lord raises up those who are oppressed. The Lord loves the righteous.
New Living Translation
Chapter 146
3Don’t put your confidence in powerful people; there is no help for you there. 4When they breathe their last, they return to the earth, and all their plans die with them. 5But joyful are those who have the God of Israel as their helper, whose hope is in the Lord their God. 6He made heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them. He keeps every promise forever. 7He gives justice to the oppressed and food to the hungry. The Lord frees the prisoners. 8The Lord opens the eyes of the blind. The Lord lifts up those who are weighed down. The Lord loves the godly.English Standard Version

3Put not your trust in princes, in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation. 4When his breath departs, he returns to the earth; on that very day his plans perish. 5Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD his God, 6who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, who keeps faith forever; 7who executes justice for the oppressed, who gives food to the hungry. The LORD sets the prisoners free; 8the LORD opens the eyes of the blind. The LORD lifts up those who are bowed down; the LORD loves the righteous.New International Version
Chapter 146
3Do not put your trust in princes, in human beings, who cannot save. 4When their spirit departs, they return to the ground; on that very day their plans come to nothing.
5Blessed are those whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD their God.
6He is the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them-- he remains faithful forever.
7He upholds the cause of the oppressed and gives food to the hungry. The LORD sets prisoners free,
8the LORD gives sight to the blind, the LORD lifts up those who are bowed down, the LORD loves the righteous.
New King James Version
