Psalms 146

1 Praise all of you the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul.

Hallelujah. Praise, O my soul, the Lord.

2 While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.

I will praise the Lord throughout my life: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.

3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

Put not your trust in princes, in the son of man, in whom there is no salvation.

4 His breath goes forth, he returns to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.

When his spirit goeth forth, he returneth to his [native] earth: on that very day perish his thoughts.

5 Happy is he that has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God:

[But] happy is he who hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is on the Lord his God;

6 Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keeps truth for ever:

Who hath made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that is therein; who keepeth truth for ever;

7 Which executes judgment for the oppressed: which gives food to the hungry. The LORD looses the prisoners:

Who executeth justice for the oppressed: who giveth bread to the hungry: the Lord looseneth the prisoners;

8 The LORD opens the eyes of the blind: the LORD raises them that are bowed down: the LORD loves the righteous:

The Lord causeth the blind to see; the Lord raiseth up those who are bowed down; the Lord loveth the righteous:

9 The LORD perserves the strangers; he relieves the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turns upside down.

The Lord guardeth the strangers; the fatherless and widow he helpeth up; but the way of the wicked he maketh crooked.

10 The LORD shall reign for ever, even your God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise all of you the LORD.

The Lord will reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Hallelujah.
