146:1 Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD, O my soul! 146:2 I will praise the LORD as long as I live;I will sing praises to my God while I have being. 146:3 Put not your trust in princes, in a son of man, in whom there is no help. 146:4 When his breath departs he returns to his earth;on that very day his plans perish. 146:5 Happy is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD his God, 146:6 who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them;who keeps faith for ever; 146:7 who executes justice for the oppressed;who gives food to the hungry. The LORD sets the prisoners free; 146:8 the LORD opens the eyes of the blind. The LORD lifts up those who are bowed down;the LORD loves the righteous. 146:9 The LORD watches over the sojourners, he upholds the widow and the fatherless;but the way of the wicked he brings to ruin. 146:10 The LORD will reign for ever, thy God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise the LORD!
