Psalm 146

Praise for the Lord 's Righteous Acts

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 .
