146:1  Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul.  

146:2 While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.  

146:3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.  

146:4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.  

146:5 Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God:  

146:6 Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever:  

146:7 Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners:  

146:8 The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous:  

146:9 The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.  

146:10 The LORD shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD.
