146 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.
