Psalms 146

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

Alleluia, of Aggeus and Zacharias.

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, 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:

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

In the children of men, in whom there is no salvation.

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

His spirit shall go forth, and he shall return into his earth: in that day all their thoughts shall 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 who hath the God of Jacob for his helper, whose hope is in the Lord his God:

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 things that are in them.

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

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:

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

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

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

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

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

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