Psalms 146

1 Hallelujah! Praise the LORD, O my soul.

2 I will praise the LORD all my life; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.

3 Put not your trust in princes, in mortal man, who cannot save.

4 When his spirit departs, he returns to the ground; on that very day his plans perish.

5 Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD his God,

6 the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them. He remains faithful forever.

7 He executes justice for the oppressed and gives food to the hungry. The LORD sets the prisoners free,

8 the LORD opens the eyes of the blind, the LORD lifts those who are weighed down, the LORD loves the righteous.

9 The LORD protects foreigners; He sustains the fatherless and the widow, but the ways of the wicked He frustrates.

10 The LORD reigns forever, your God, O Zion, for all generations. Hallelujah!

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

2 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 son of man, in whom [there is] no help.

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

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

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

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

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

9 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 reign for ever, [even] thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD.

1 Hallelujah! Praise the Lord, my soul!

2 I will praise the LORD as long as I live, and sing praises unto my God because I am here.

3 Rely not on princes: they are men, they cannot help.

4 For the spirit of man must depart, and he must return to the ground: then are all his works lost.

5 Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD his God,

6 Who made heaven, earth, sea, and all that is in them; whose faith endureth for ever;

7 He that doeth justice to them that suffer violence; he that feedeth the hungry. The LORD looseth the captives.

8 The LORD maketh the blind to see. The LORD raiseth up them that are downcast. The LORD loveth the righteous.

9 The LORD keepeth the stranger and the fatherless, and preserveth the widow; and turneth back the way of the wicked.

10 The LORD is King for ever, thy God, O Zion, for ever and ever. Hallelujah!
