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.
Psalm 146

Psalm 146
1 Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord, O my soul!
2 While I live I will praise the Lord;
I will sing praises unto my God while I have my life.
3 Do not put your trust in princes,
nor in a son of man, in whom there is no help.
4 His breath leaves him, and he returns to the earth;
on that very day his plans perish.
5 Blessed is he who 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 faithfulness forever,
7 who executes justice for the oppressed,
who gives food to the hungry.
The Lord releases the prisoners.
8 The Lord opens the eyes of the blind;
the Lord raises those who are brought down;
the Lord loves the righteous.
9 The Lord preserves the sojourners;
He lifts up the fatherless and widow,
but on the way of the wicked He brings disaster.
10 The Lord shall reign forever,
your God, O Zion, unto all generations.
Praise you the Lord!
Salmos 146
Reina Valera Contemporánea
Alabanza a la justicia de Dios
Aleluya.
146 Alaba, alma mía, al Señor.
2 Mientras yo viva, alabaré al Señor;
todos los días de mi vida le cantaré salmos.
3 No pongan su confianza en los poderosos,
ni en ningún mortal, porque no pueden salvar.
4 El día que mueren, vuelven a la tierra,
y ese mismo día todos sus planes se acaban.
5 ¡Dichosos los que confían en el Dios de Jacob,
los que cuentan con la ayuda de Dios, el Señor!
6 El Señor creó los cielos y la tierra,
y el mar y todos los seres que contiene.
El Señor siempre cumple su palabra;
7 hace justicia a los oprimidos,
y da de comer a los que tienen hambre.
El Señor da libertad a los cautivos,
8 y les devuelve la vista a los ciegos;
El Señor levanta a los caídos;
y ama a los que practican la justicia.
9 El Señor protege a los extranjeros
y sostiene a las viudas y a los huérfanos,
pero tuerce el camino de los malvados.
10 El Señor reinará por siempre;
¡Sión, el Señor es tu Dios eterno!
¡Aleluya!
