Psalms 146
1 Let the Lord be praised. Give praise to the Lord, O my soul.
Praise ye the Lord. Praise thou the Lord, O my soule.
2 While I have breath I will give praise to the Lord: I will make melody 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 faith in rulers, or in the son of man, in whom there is no salvation.
Put not your trust in princes, nor in the sonne of man, for there is none helpe in him.
4 Man's breath goes out, he is turned back again to dust; in that day all his purposes come to an end.
His breath departeth, and he returneth to his earth: then his thoughtes perish.
5 Happy is the man who has the God of Jacob for his help, 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 Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all things in them; who keeps faith for ever:
Which made heauen and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth his fidelitie for euer:
7 Who gives their rights to those who are crushed down; and gives food to those who are in need of it: the Lord makes the prisoners free;
Which executeth iustice for the oppressed: which giueth bread to the hungry: the Lord loseth the prisoners.
8 The Lord makes open the eyes of the blind; the Lord is the lifter up of those who are bent down; the Lord is a lover of the upright;
The Lord giueth sight to the blinde: the Lord rayseth vp the crooked: the Lord loueth the righteous.
9 The Lord takes care of those who are in a strange land; he gives help to the widow and to the child who has no father; but he sends destruction on the way of sinners.
The Lord keepeth the strangers: he relieueth the fatherlesse and widowe: but he ouerthroweth the way of the wicked.
10 The Lord will be King for ever; your God, O Zion, will be King through all generations. Praise be to the Lord.
The Lord shall reigne for euer: O Zion, thy God endureth from generation to generation. Prayse ye the Lord.
