Psalms 146

1 Praise the LORD. Praise the LORD, my soul.

PRAISE ye the Lord. Praise the Lord, O my soul.

2 While I live, I will praise the LORD. I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.

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

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

Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God:

6 who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them; who keeps truth forever;

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

7 who executes justice for the oppressed; who gives food to the hungry. The LORD frees the prisoners.

Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The Lord looseth the prisoners:

8 The LORD opens the eyes of the blind. The LORD raises up those who are bowed down. The LORD loves 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 preserves the foreigners. He upholds the fatherless and widow, but the way of the wicked he turns upside down.

The Lord preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.

10 The LORD will reign forever; your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise the LORD.

The Lord shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the Lord.
