🕊️ Psalms 146
Psalms 146 opens with these words: “Praise Yah! Praise Yahweh, my soul.” The line to keep is Psalms 146:5: “Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Yahweh, his God:” Carry the word “happy” from that verse into the rest of the day.
Psalms 146 is a real chapter from the Old Testament. It starts, “Praise Yah! Praise Yahweh, my soul.” That is not a motto invented for a poster. It is the first sentence a family hears when this page is opened at night.
Keep going a little further. The chapter also says, “who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them; who keeps truth forever;” Psalms 146 opens with these words: “Praise Yah! Praise Yahweh, my soul.” The line to keep is Psalms 146:5: “Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Yahweh, his God:” Carry the word “happy” from that verse into the rest of the day.
The line worth learning out loud is Psalms 146:5: “Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Yahweh, his God:” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.
What happens first in Psalms 146? Then try this: Read “Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Yahweh, his God:” once more. What does it show you about God? You do not have to finish every verse. You can close the book after the memory verse and still have read the Bible together.
“Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Yahweh, his God:”
