Psalm 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.
***One of David’s psalms of victory. He has learned…because at some point in his trials, God has opened his eyes…and now he sees the defeat of his enemies. Why? Because now he sees The Lord who is his Salvation = Yeshua!✝️
3 Put not your trust in princes,
in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation.
(Proverbs 11:3)
4 When his breath departs, he returns to the earth; (Psalm 103:15-16; Isaiah 40:6-8)
on that very day his plans perish.
(Luke12:13-34)
5 Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob,
(Psalm 143:7-12)
whose hope is in the Lord his God,
6 who made heaven and earth,
the sea, and all that is in them,
(Genesis 1; Isaiah 40:12-31)
who keeps faith forever;
(Isaiah 40:9:11)
***from this point onwards, David will prophecy of his descendant - The Son Of David, who is Messiah***
vs.7 who executes justice for the oppressed,
(Matt 8:2-4; Luke 18:35-43)
who gives food to the hungry.
(Matthew 5:6)
***See John 6 vs.1-15 - then vs.22-59***
The Lord sets the prisoners free;
(Luke 8:26-39)
***John 11:23-44…A foreshadowing of Jesus’s resurrection;***
***Matthew 27:45-54…A foreshadowing of our resurrection - 1Thessalonians 4:13-18***
vs.8 the Lord opens the eyes of the blind.
(Luke 18:35-44; John ch. 9)
The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down;
(Luke 7:11-17; John 5:1-9)
***Ultimately, Jesus will lift us all up from the burden of sin: In carrying His OWN cross (John19:17) He will take our sins, and make them His own - 2Corinthians 5:21***
Yes, all of these things, Jesus did: First in the natural (for our temporal bodies)…then in the Spiritual (for our eternal souls)
Vs.8cont. the Lord loves the righteous. (All who put their trust in the finished work if Christ’s Sacrifice, receive his righteousness: Romans 4:9-16; Phil.3:8-9)
vs.9 The Lord watches over the sojourners;
(Matthew 15:21-28; Luke 7:1-10; Hebrews 11:8-10,13-15; 1Peter 2:11-12:
For we who follow Him, are considered as exiles and “sojourners in this world…we no longer look to this world, because we are not of this world: John 17:16)
he upholds the widow and the fatherless,
(Luke7:11-17)
but the way of the wicked he brings to ruin.
(Matthew 23:1-36; Luke 15:1-7; John 5:31-47; 9:41)
10 The Lord will reign forever,
(Revelation 19:11-21)
your God, O Zion, to all generations.
(Revelation 21 & 22)
Praise the Lord!
