Psalms 146

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

Alleluia, of Aggeus and Zacharias.

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

Praise the Lord, O my soul, in my life I will praise the Lord: I will sing to my God as long as I shall be. Put not your trust in princes:

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

In the children of men, in whom there is no salvation.

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

His spirit shall go forth, and he shall return into his earth: in that day all their thoughts shall perish.

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

Blessed is he who hath the God of Jacob for his helper, whose hope is in the Lord his God:

6 Who made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that [is] in them: who keepeth truth for ever:

Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all things that are in them.

7 Who executeth judgment for the oppressed: who giveth food to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners:

Who keepeth truth for ever: who executeth judgment for them that suffer wrong: who giveth food to the hungry. The Lord looseth them that are fettered:

8 The LORD openeth [the eyes of] the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous:

The Lord enlighteneth the blind. The Lord lifteth up them that are cast down: the Lord loveth the just.

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

The Lord keepeth the strangers, he will support the fatherless and the widow: and the ways of sinners he will destroy.

10 The LORD will reign for ever, [even] thy God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise ye the LORD.

The Lord shall reign for ever: thy God, O Sion, unto generation and generation.
