Psalm 146

1 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
