Psalm 146: Whose hope is in the LORD

Read Psalm 146:1-10 before you meet.

In a few lines

The WEB says help twice, but in Hebrew they are two words: a son of man has no teshu'ah (146:3), and happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his ezer (146:5). And the one "who made heaven and earth" (146:6) is, in the same Hebrew word, oseh, the one "who executes justice for the oppressed" (146:7).

The verse to carry

“Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD, his God,”

Psalm 146:5

To talk about

  1. 1. "Don’t put your trust in princes, in a son of man in whom there is no help" (146:3). Apart from God, what are you most tempted to count on for help? What would it look like to put your hope in the LORD there this week?

  2. 2. "While I live, I will praise the LORD" (146:2). What would praising him on an ordinary day this week look like for you?

  3. 3. Psalm 146:7-9 lists who the LORD is for: the oppressed, the hungry, prisoners, the blind, those bowed down, foreigners, the fatherless and the widow. Who in your life comes to mind as you read that list?
