Psalm 146

1        Praise God.  The Lord praise, O my soul.

2                 I'll praise God while I live;

          While I have being to my God

                   in songs I'll praises give.

3        Trust not in princes, nor man's son,

                   in whom there is no stay:

4        His breath departs, to's earth he turns;

                   that day his thoughts decay.

5        O happy is that man and blest,

                   whom Jacob's God doth aid;

          Whose hope upon the Lord doth rest,

                   and on his God is stay'd:

6        Who made the earth and heavens high,

                   who made the swelling deep,

          And all that is within the same;

                   who truth doth ever keep:

7        Who righteous judgment executes

                   for those oppress'd that be,

          Who to the hungry giveth food;

                   God sets the pris'ners free.

8        The Lord doth give the blind their sight,

                   the bowed down doth raise:

          The Lord doth dearly love all those

                   that walk in upright ways.

9        The stranger's shield, the widow's stay,

                   the orphan's help, is he:

          But yet by him the wicked's way

                   turn'd upside down shall be.

10      The Lord shall reign for evermore:

                   thy God, O Sion, he

          Reigns to all generations.

                   Praise to the Lord give ye.
