Psalm 146

1 †Praise ye the Lord.

aPraise the Lord, O my soul.

2 bWhile I live will I praise the Lord:

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

3 cPut not your trust in princes,

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

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

In that very day fhis thoughts perish.

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

Whose ihope is in the Lord his God:

6 k lWhich made heaven, and earth,

lThe sea, and all that therein is:

Which keepeth truth for ever:

7 mWhich executeth judgment for the oppressed:

Which giveth food to the nhungry.

oThe Lord plooseth the prisoners:

8 qThe Lord openeth the eyes of the blind:

The r xLord raiseth them that are bowed down:

sThe Lord loveth the righteous:

9 tThe Lord preserveth the strangers;

tHe urelieveth wthe fatherless and widow:

xBut the way of the wicked he yturneth upside down.

10 zThe Lord shall reign for ever,

Even thy God, O Zion, aunto all generations.

bPraise ye the Lord.
