Psalms 146

1 Alleluia, of Aggeus and Zacharias.

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

2 Praise the Lord, O my soul, in my life I will praise the Lord: I will sing to my God as long as I shall be. Put not your trust in princes:

I will prayse the Lord during my life: as long as I haue any being, I wil sing vnto my God.

3 In the children of men, 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 spirit shall go forth, and he shall return into his earth: in that day all their thoughts shall 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 helper, 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 that are in them.

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

7 Who keepeth truth for ever: who executeth judgment for them that suffer wrong: who giveth food to the hungry. The Lord looseth them that are fettered:

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

8 The Lord enlighteneth the blind. The Lord lifteth up them that are cast down: the Lord loveth the just.

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

9 The Lord keepeth the strangers, he will support the fatherless and the widow: and the ways of sinners he will destroy.

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

10 The Lord shall reign for ever: thy God, O Sion, unto generation and generation.

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