Psalms 146

1 Praise ye the Lord. Praise thou the Lord, O my soule.

Hallelujah. 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.

I will praise the LORD while I live; I will sing praises unto my God while I have my 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 dust; 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 whose help is the God of Jacob, 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 in them is; 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 justice for the oppressed; who giveth bread 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 up 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 upholdeth the fatherless and the widow; but the way of the wicked He maketh crooked.

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, Thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Hallelujah.
