Psalm 146
Authorized (King James) Version
Psalm 146
1 Praise ye the Lord.
Praise the Lord, O my soul.
2 While I live will I praise the Lord:
I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.
3 Put not your trust in princes,
nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.
4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth;
in that very day his thoughts perish.
5 Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help,
whose hope is in the Lord his God:
6 which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is:
which keepeth truth for ever:
7 which executeth judgment for the oppressed:
which giveth food to the hungry.
The Lord looseth the prisoners:
8 the Lord openeth the eyes of the blind:
the Lord raiseth them that are bowed down:
the Lord loveth the righteous:
9 the Lord preserveth the strangers;
he relieveth the fatherless and widow:
but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.
10 The Lord shall reign for ever,
even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations.
Praise ye the Lord.
