Psalms 146

1 Praise the Lord! With my whole being I praise the Lord!

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

2 I will praise the Lord while I live; I will sing praises to my God while I have breath.

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

3 Don't put your confidence in human leaders—they cannot save you.

Put not your trust in princes, nor in the sonne of man, for there is none helpe in him.

4 Once they breathe no more, they go back to dust. On that very day everything they planned dies with them.

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

5 Happy are those who have the God of Jacob to help them—their hope is in the Lord their God—

Blessed is he, that hath the God of Iaakob for his helpe, whose hope is in the Lord his God.

6 the one who made heaven and earth, and the sea along with everything it contains. He is trustworthy forever.

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

7 He makes sure the oppressed receive justice. He 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 makes the blind see. The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down. The Lord loves those who do what is right.

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

9 The Lord takes care of strangers among us. He looks after widows and orphans. But he makes life difficult for the wicked.

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

10 The Lord will reign forever. Zion, he will be your God for all generations. Praise the Lord!

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