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 to 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:

Who made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that [is] in them: 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 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 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 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 will reign for ever, [even] thy God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise ye the LORD.
