Psalms 146

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

Alleluia, [a Psalm] of Aggaeus and Zacharias. My soul, praise the Lord.

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

While I live will I praise the Lord: I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.

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

Trust not in princes, nor in the children of men, in whom there is no safety.

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

His breath shall go forth, and he shall return to his earth; in that day all his thoughts shall perish.

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

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

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

who made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all things in them: who keeps truth for ever:

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

who executes judgment for the wronged: who gives food to the hungry. The Lord looses the fettered ones:

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

the Lord gives wisdom to the blind: The Lord sets up the broken down: the Lord loves the righteous: the Lord preserves the strangers;

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

he will relieve the orphan and widow: but will utterly remove the way of sinners.

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

The Lord shall reign for ever, [even] thy God, O Sion, to all generations.
