The Psalms

Psalm 146

 ^146:1Praise ye Jehovah.

 Praise Jehovah, O my soul.

 ^146:2While I live will I praise Jehovah:

 I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.

 ^146:3Put not your trust in princes,

 Nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

 ^146:4His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth;

 In that very day his thoughts perish.

 ^146:5Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help,

 Whose hope is in Jehovah his God:

 ^146:6Who made heaven and earth,

 The sea, and all that in them is;

 Who keepeth truth for ever;

 ^146:7Who executeth justice for the oppressed;

 Who giveth food to the hungry.

 Jehovah looseth the prisoners;

 ^146:8Jehovah openeth the eyes of the blind;

 Jehovah raiseth up them that are bowed down;

 Jehovah loveth the righteous;

 ^146:9Jehovah preserveth the sojourners;

 He upholdeth the fatherless and widow;

 But the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.

 ^146:10Jehovah will reign for ever,

 Thy God, O Zion, unto all generations.

 Praise ye Jehovah.
