Devotional for Saturday in Holy Week

St. Paul's UMC - Parkersburg, West Virginia

Read Psalms 145-147

 

Psalm 146 (Names of God Bible)

 

 ¹ Hallelujah! Praise Yahweh, my soul!

² I want to praise Yahweh throughout my life. I want to make music to praise my Elohim as long as I live.

³ Do not trust influential people, mortals who cannot help you. ⁴ When they breathe their last breath, they return to the ground. On that day their plans come to an end.

⁵ Blessed are those who receive help from the El of Jacob. Their hope rests on Yahweh their Elohim, ⁶ who made heaven, earth, the sea, and everything in them. Yahweh remains faithful forever.

⁷ He brings about justice for those who are oppressed. He gives food to those who are hungry. Yahweh sets prisoners free.

⁸ Yahweh gives sight to blind people. Yahweh straightens the backs of those who are bent over. Yahweh loves righteous people.

⁹ Yahweh protects foreigners. Yahweh gives relief to orphans and widows. But he keeps wicked people from reaching their goal.

¹⁰ Yahweh rules as king forever. Zion, your Elohi rules throughout every generation. Hallelujah!
