Psalms

146 1 PRAISE¹ 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 while I have any being.

3 ^cPut not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no ²help.

4 His ^dbreath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.

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

6 Which ^fmade heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: ^gwhich keepeth truth for ever:

7 Which ^hexecuteth judgment for the oppressed: which ⁱgiveth food to the hungry. ^jThe LORD looseth the prisoners:

8 The ^kLORD openeth the eyes of the blind: the LORD ^lraiseth them that are bowed down: the ^mLORD loveth the righteous:

9 The LORD ⁿpreserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the ^oway of the wicked he turneth upside down.

10 The ^pLORD shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. ^qPraise ye the LORD.
