| Chapter 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. |
