Beginning
146 Praise the LORD, O my soul!
2 I will praise the LORD during my life. As long as I have any being, I will sing to my God.
3 Do not put your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, for there is no help in him.
4 His breath departs. He returns to his earth. Then, his thoughts 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 therein is. Who keeps his fidelity forever.
7 Who executes justice for the oppressed, Who gives bread to the hungry. The LORD frees the prisoners.
8 The LORD gives sight to the blind. The LORD raises up the crooked. The LORD loves the righteous.
9 The LORD keeps the strangers. He relieves the fatherless and widow; but He overthrows the way of the wicked.
10 The LORD shall reign forever! O Zion, your God endures from generation to generation. Praise the LORD!
147 Praise the LORD, for it is good to sing to our God; for it is a pleasant thing and praise is comely.
2 The LORD builds up Jerusalem and gathers together the dispersed of Israel.
3 He heals the brokenhearted, and binds up their sores.
4 He counts the number of the stars and calls them all by their names.
5 Great is our LORD, and great is his power. His wisdom is infinite.
6 The LORD relieves the meek and abases the wicked to the ground.
7 Sing to the LORD with praise! Sing upon the harp to our God,
8 Who covers the heavens with clouds and prepares rain for the Earth and makes the grass grow upon the mountains;
9 Who gives food to beasts and to the young ravens that cry.
10 He has no pleasure in the strength of a horse, nor does He delight in the legs of man.
11 The LORD delights in those who fear Him and expectantly await His mercy.
12 Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem! Praise your God, O Zion!
13 For He has made the bars of the gates strong and has blessed your children within you.
14 He sets peace on your borders and satisfies you with the flour of wheat.
15 He sends forth His Commandment upon Earth; and His Word runs very swiftly.
16 He gives snow like wool and scatters the hoary frost like ashes.
17 He casts forth His ice like morsels. Who can abide the cold thereof?
18 He sends His Word and melts them. He causes His wind to blow and the waters to flow.
19 He shows His Word to Jacob, His statutes and His judgments to Israel.
20 He has not dealt so with every nation; nor have they known His judgments. Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD
148 Praise the LORD from the heavens! Praise Him in the high places!
2 Praise Him, all His angels! Praise Him, all His army!
3 Praise Him, Sun and Moon! Praise Him, all bright stars!
4 Praise Him, you heavens of heavens, and waters above the heavens!
5 Let them praise the Name of the LORD; for He commanded, and they were created.
6 And He has established them forever and ever. He has made an ordinance which shall not pass.
7 Praise the LORD from the Earth, you dragons and all depths:
8 fire and hail, snow and vapors, stormy wind — which execute His Word —
9 mountains and all hills, fruitful trees, and all cedars,10 beasts and all cattle, creeping things and feathered birds,
11 kings of the Earth and all people, princes and all judges of the world,
12 young men and maidens, also old men and children.
13 Let them praise the Name of the LORD; for only His Name is to be exalted. His praise is above the Earth and the heavens.
14 For He has exalted the horn of His people — a praise for all His saints, for the children of Israel — a people that is near to Him. Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD.
149 Sing to the LORD a new song! Let His praise be heard in the congregation of saints.
2 Let Israel rejoice in Him Who made him; and let the children of Zion rejoice in their King.
3 Let them praise His Name with the flute. Let them sing praises to Him with the timbrel and harp.
4 For the LORD has pleasure in His people. He will make the meek glorious by deliverance.
5 Let the saints be joyful with glory! Let them sing loud upon their beds.
6 Let the high acts of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hands —
7 to execute vengeance upon the heathen and corrections among the people,
8 to bind their kings in chains and their nobles with fetters of iron —
9 so that they may execute upon them the judgment that is written. This honor shall be to all His saints. Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD.
150 Praise God in His Sanctuary! Praise Him in the firmament of His power.
2 Praise Him in His mighty acts! Praise Him according to His excellent greatness.
3 Praise Him in the sound of the trumpet! Praise Him upon the viol and the harp.
4 Praise Him with timbrel and flute! Praise Him with virginals and organs.
5 Praise Him with sounding cymbals! Praise Him with high sounding cymbals.
6 Let everything that has breath praise the LORD! Praise the LORD!
