Psalms 146:1-10
The call to praise (Psalm 146:1–2) leads to a warning against foolishness and false confidence (146:3–4). The psalm ends with a blessing for everyone who places their hope in the Lord (Psalm 146:5–7).
The Psalter ends with five hallelujah psalms, so named because each begins and ends with Praise the LORD! (Hebrew haleluyah).
