Context of Psalms 146:3

1Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord, my soul! 2I will praise the Lord while I live; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being. Do not trust in noblemen, In mortal man, in whom there is no salvation. 4His spirit departs, he returns to the earth; On that very day his plans perish. 5Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, Whose hope is in the Lord his God,
