< Psalms 146 >

1 Hallelujah! Praise the LORD, O my soul.
Praise ye the Lord. Praise thou the Lord, O my soule.
2 I will praise the LORD all my life; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.
I will prayse the Lord during my life: as long as I haue any being, I wil sing vnto my God.
3 Put not your trust in princes, in mortal man, who cannot save.
Put not your trust in princes, nor in the sonne of man, for there is none helpe in him.
4 When his spirit departs, he returns to the ground; on that very day his plans perish.
His breath departeth, and he returneth to his earth: then his thoughtes perish.
5 Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD his God,
Blessed is he, that hath the God of Iaakob for his helpe, whose hope is in the Lord his God.
6 the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them. He remains faithful forever.
Which made heauen and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth his fidelitie for euer:
7 He executes justice for the oppressed and gives food to the hungry. The LORD sets the prisoners free,
Which executeth iustice for the oppressed: which giueth bread to the hungry: the Lord loseth the prisoners.
8 the LORD opens the eyes of the blind, the LORD lifts those who are weighed down, the LORD loves the righteous.
The Lord giueth sight to the blinde: the Lord rayseth vp the crooked: the Lord loueth the righteous.
9 The LORD protects foreigners; He sustains the fatherless and the widow, but the ways of the wicked He frustrates.
The Lord keepeth the strangers: he relieueth the fatherlesse and widowe: but he ouerthroweth the way of the wicked.
10 The LORD reigns forever, your God, O Zion, for all generations. Hallelujah!
The Lord shall reigne for euer: O Zion, thy God endureth from generation to generation. Prayse ye the Lord.
