Psalms 146

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

Praise ye the LORD! Praise the LORD, O my soul!

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

I will praise the LORD, as long as I live; I will sing praises to my God, while I have my being.

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

Put not your trust in princes, In the son of man, in whom is no help!

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

His breath goeth forth; he returneth to the dust; In that very day his plans perish.

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

Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help; 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 that is therein; Who keepeth truth for ever;

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

Who executeth judgment for the oppressed; Who giveth food to the hungry. The LORD setteth free the prisoners;

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

The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind; The LORD raiseth up them that are bowed down; The LORD loveth the righteous.

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

The LORD preserveth the strangers; He relieveth the fatherless and the widow; But the way of the wicked he maketh crooked.

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 Zion! to all generations! Praise ye the LORD!
