Psalm 146:1–147:1

^1†Praise ye the Lord.

^aPraise the Lord, O my soul.

^2bWhile I live will I praise the Lord:

I will sing praises unto my God ^bwhile I have any being.

^3cPut not your trust in princes,

^dNor in the son of man, in whom there is no ^||help.

^4eHis breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth;

In that very day ^fhis thoughts perish.

^5gHappy is he that hath the God of Jacob ^hfor his help,

Whose ⁱhope is in the Lord his God:

^6klWhich made heaven, and earth,

^lThe sea, and all that therein is:

Which keepeth truth for ever:

^7mWhich executeth judgment for the oppressed:

Which giveth food to the ⁿhungry.

^oThe Lord ^plooseth the prisoners:

^8qThe Lord openeth the eyes of the blind:

The ^rxLord raiseth them that are bowed down:

^sThe Lord loveth the righteous:

^9tThe Lord preserveth the strangers;

^tHe ^urelieveth ^wthe fatherless and widow:

^xBut the way of the wicked he ^yturneth upside down.

^10zThe Lord shall reign for ever,

Even thy God, O Zion, ^aunto all generations.

^bPraise ye the Lord.

Psalm 147

^1aPraise ye the Lord:

For ^bit is good to sing praises unto our God;

^cFor it is pleasant; and ^dpraise is comely.
