Psalms 146

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

Alleluia, of Aggeus and Zacharias.

2 While I live, I will praise the LORD. I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.

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:

3 Do not put your trust in princes, each a son of man in whom there is no help.

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

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

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

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

Blessed is he who hath the God of Jacob for his helper, 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;

Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all things that are in them.

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

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:

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

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

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

10 The LORD will reign forever; your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise the LORD.

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