Psalms 146

1 Alleluia, of Aggeus and Zacharias.

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

2 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:

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

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

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

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

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

5 Blessed is he who hath the God of Jacob for his helper, 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 Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all things that are in them.

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

7 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:

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

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

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

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

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

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