Psalms 146

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

My soul, praise the Lord.

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, while I live; I will sing to my God, while I am.

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 mortals, in whom is no help.

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

When their breath goes out, they go back to the dust: on that very day their purposes perish.

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

Happy those whose help is the God of Jacob: whose hope is set on the Lord their God,

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

the Creator of heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them. He remains eternally loyal.

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

For the wronged he executes justice; he gives bread to the hungry; the Lord releases the prisoners.

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

The Lord gives sight to the blind: the Lord raises those who are bowed. The Lord loves the righteous.

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

The Lord preserves the stranger, upholds the widow and orphan, but the wicked he leads to disaster.

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, to all generations. Hallelujah.
