Psalms in 30 days reading for day 30.
Psalms 146
- 1 Hallelujah! Praise the LORD, O my soul.
- 2 I will praise the LORD all my life; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.
- 3 Put not your trust in princes, in mortal man, who cannot save.
- 4 When his spirit departs, he returns to the ground; 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 the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them. He remains faithful forever.
- 7 He executes justice for the oppressed and gives food to the hungry. The LORD sets the prisoners free,
- 8 the LORD opens the eyes of the blind, the LORD lifts those who are weighed down, the LORD loves the righteous.
- 9 The LORD protects foreigners; He sustains the fatherless and the widow, but the ways of the wicked He frustrates.
- 10 The LORD reigns forever, your God, O Zion, for all generations. Hallelujah!
Psalms 147
- 1 Hallelujah! How good it is to sing praises to our God, how pleasant and lovely to praise Him!
- 2 The LORD builds up Jerusalem; He gathers the exiles of Israel.
- 3 He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
- 4 He determines the number of the stars; He calls them each by name.
- 5 Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding has no limit.
- 6 The LORD sustains the humble, but casts the wicked to the ground.
- 7 Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving; make music on the harp to our God,
- 8 who covers the sky with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who makes grass to grow on the hills.
- 9 He provides food for the animals, and for the young ravens when they call.
- 10 He does not delight in the strength of the horse; He takes no pleasure in the legpower of the man.
- 11 The LORD is pleased with those who fear Him, who hope in His loving devotion.
- 12 Exalt the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise your God, O Zion!
- 13 For He strengthens the bars of your gates and blesses the children within you.
- 14 He makes peace at your borders; He fills you with the finest wheat.
- 15 He sends forth His command to the earth; His word runs swiftly.
- 16 He spreads the snow like wool; He scatters the frost like ashes;
- 17 He casts forth His hail like pebbles. Who can withstand His icy blast?
- 18 He sends forth His word and melts them; He unleashes His winds, and the waters flow.
- 19 He declares His word to Jacob, His statutes and judgments to Israel.
- 20 He has done this for no other nation; they do not know His judgments. Hallelujah!
Psalms 148
- 1 Hallelujah! Praise the LORD from the heavens; praise Him in the highest places.
- 2 Praise Him, all His angels; praise Him, all His heavenly hosts.
- 3 Praise Him, O sun and moon; praise Him, all you shining stars.
- 4 Praise Him, O highest heavens, and you waters above the skies.
- 5 Let them praise the name of the LORD, for He gave the command and they were created.
- 6 He established them forever and ever; He issued a decree that will never pass away.
- 7 Praise the LORD from the earth, all great sea creatures and ocean depths,
- 8 lightning and hail, snow and clouds, powerful wind fulfilling His word,
- 9 mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars,
- 10 wild animals and all cattle, crawling creatures and flying birds,
- 11 kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all rulers of the earth,
- 12 young men and maidens, old and young together.
- 13 Let them praise the name of the LORD, for His name alone is exalted; His splendor is above the earth and the heavens.
- 14 He has raised up a horn for His people, the praise of all His saints, of Israel, a people near to Him. Hallelujah!
Psalms 149
- 1 Hallelujah! Sing to the LORD a new song— His praise in the assembly of the godly.
- 2 Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; let the children of Zion rejoice in their King.
- 3 Let them praise His name with dancing, and make music to Him with tambourine and harp.
- 4 For the LORD takes pleasure in His people; He adorns the afflicted with salvation.
- 5 Let the saints exult in glory; let them shout for joy upon their beds.
- 6 May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a double-edged sword in their hands,
- 7 to inflict vengeance on the nations and punishment on the peoples,
- 8 to bind their kings with chains and their nobles with shackles of iron,
- 9 to execute the judgment written against them. This honor is for all His saints. Hallelujah!

- 4 Praise Him with tambourine and dancing; praise Him with strings and flute.
- 5 Praise Him with clashing cymbals; praise Him with resounding cymbals.
- 6 Let everything that has breath praise the LORD! Hallelujah!
