Psalms 146

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

Alleluia. Of Haggai and Zachariah.

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

Praise the Lord, O my soul. I will praise the Lord with my life. I will sing psalms to my God as long as I shall be. Do not trust in the leaders,

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

in the sons of men, in whom there is no salvation.

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

His spirit will depart, and he will return to his earth. In that day, all their thoughts will perish.

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

Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob: his hope is in the Lord God himself,

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

who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all the things that are in them.

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

He preserves the truth forever. He executes judgment for those who suffer injury. He provides food for the hungry. The Lord releases those who are bound.

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

The Lord enlightens the blind. The Lord sets upright those who have been thrown down. The Lord loves the just.

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

The Lord watches over new arrivals. He will support the orphan and the widow. And he will destroy the ways of sinners.

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

The Lord shall reign forever: your God, O Zion, from generation to generation.
