Psalms 146

3 Do not place trust in princes,

in a son of humankind with whom there is no deliverance.

4 His breath departs; he returns to his plot;*A Hebrew wordplay: "humankind," adam (v. 3), returns to his ground/plot, adamah

on that day his plans perish.

5 Blessed is the one whose help is the God of Jacob,

whose hope is on Yahweh as his God,
