Psalms, Chapter 146

1Praise ye the Lord. Praise the Lord, O my soul.
2While I live will I praise the Lord: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.
3Put not your trust in princes, {nor} in the son of man, in whom {there is} no help.
4His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.
5Happy {is he} that {hath} the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope {is} in the Lord his God:
6Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein {is}: which keepeth truth for ever:
7Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The Lord looseth the prisoners:
8The Lord openeth {the eyes of} the blind: the Lord raiseth them that are bowed down: the Lord loveth the righteous:
9The Lord preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.
10The Lord shall reign for ever, {even} thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the Lord.
