I will sing praises to my God with my dying breath.H2416H1984H3068H2167H430 3Don’t put your confidence in powerful people; there is no help for you there.H982H5081H1121H120H8668 4When they breathe their last, they return to the earth, and all their plans die with them.H7307H3318H7725H127H3117H6250H6 5But joyful are those who have the God of Israel as their helper, whose hope is in the Lord their God.H835H410H3290H5828H7664H3068H430 6He made heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them. He keeps every promise forever.H6213H8064H776H3220H8104H571H5769 7He gives justice to the oppressed and food to the hungry.

He cares for the orphans and widows, but he frustrates the plans of the wicked.H3068H8104H1616H5749H3490H490H1870H7563H5791 10The Lord will reign forever. He will be your God, O Jerusalem, throughout the generations. Praise the Lord!H3068H4427H5769H430H6726H1755H1755H1984H3050

Who can stand against his freezing cold?H7993H7140H6595H5975H6440H7135 18Then, at his command, it all melts. He sends his winds, and the ice thaws.H7971H1697H4529H7307H5380H4325H5140 19He has revealed his words to Jacob, his decrees and regulations to Israel.H5046H1697H1697H3290H2706H4941H3478 20He has not done this for any other nation; they do not know his regulations.
