Psalms 146

1 Hallelujah! Praise Jehovah, O my soul.

Praise ye the Lord. Praise thou the Lord, O my soule.

2 As long as I live will I praise Jehovah; I will sing psalms unto 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 confidence in nobles, in a 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 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his purposes perish.

His breath departeth, and he returneth to his earth: then his thoughtes perish.

5 Blessed is he who hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Jehovah 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 the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is therein; who keepeth truth for ever;

Which made heauen and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth his fidelitie for euer:

7 Who executeth judgment for the oppressed, who giveth bread to the hungry. Jehovah looseth the prisoners;

Which executeth iustice for the oppressed: which giueth bread to the hungry: the Lord loseth the prisoners.

8 Jehovah openeth [the eyes of] the blind; Jehovah raiseth up them that are bowed down; Jehovah loveth the righteous;

The Lord giueth sight to the blinde: the Lord rayseth vp the crooked: the Lord loueth the righteous.

9 Jehovah preserveth the strangers; he lifteth up the fatherless and the widow; but the way of the wicked doth he subvert.

The Lord keepeth the strangers: he relieueth the fatherlesse and widowe: but he ouerthroweth the way of the wicked.

10 Jehovah will reign for ever, [even] thy God, O Zion, from generation to generation. Hallelujah!

The Lord shall reigne for euer: O Zion, thy God endureth from generation to generation. Prayse ye the Lord.
