Psalms 146

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

Praise all of you 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.

3 Don’t put your trust in princes, in a son of man in whom there is no help.

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

4 His spirit departs, and he returns to the earth. In that very day, his thoughts perish.

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

Happy is he that has 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 keeps truth for ever:

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

Which executes judgment for the oppressed: which gives food to the hungry. The LORD looses 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 opens the eyes of the blind: the LORD raises them that are bowed down: the LORD loves the righteous:

9 The LORD preserves the foreigners. He upholds the fatherless and widow, but he turns the way of the wicked upside down.

The LORD perserves the strangers; he relieves the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turns 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 your God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise all of you the LORD.
