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.

While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any 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, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

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

His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts 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:

Which made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is; which keepeth truth for ever:

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

Which executeth judgment for the oppressed; which giveth food to the hungry: the LORD looseth 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 upholdeth the fatherless and widow; but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.

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, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD.
