PSALM 146
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1Praise God. The Lord praise, O my soul.
2I'll praise God while I live;
While I have being to my God
in songs I'll praises give.
3Trust not in princes, nor man's son,
in whom there is no stay:
4His breath departs, to's earth he turns;
that day his thoughts decay.
5O 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:
6Who made the earth and heavens high,
who made the swelling deep,
And all that is within the same;
who truth doth ever keep:
7Who righteous judgment executes
for those oppress'd that be,
Who to the hungry giveth food;
God sets the pris'ners free.
8The Lord doth give the blind their sight,
the bowed down doth raise:
The Lord doth dearly love all those
that walk in upright ways.
9The 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.
10The Lord shall reign for evermore:
thy God, O Sion, he
Reigns to all generations.
Praise to the Lord give ye.

Psalm 146
1Praise the Lord.
I will praise the Lord.
2I will praise the Lord all my life.
I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.
3Don’t put your trust in human leaders.
Don’t trust in people who can’t save you.
4When they die, they return to the ground.
On that day their plans come to nothing.
5Blessed are those who depend on the God of Jacob for help.
Blessed are those who put their hope in the Lord their God.
6He is the Maker of heaven and earth and the ocean.
He made everything in them.
He remains faithful forever.
7He stands up for those who are treated badly.
He gives food to hungry people.
The Lord sets prisoners free.
8The Lord gives sight to those who are blind.
The Lord lifts up those who feel helpless.
The Lord loves those who do what is right.
9The Lord watches over the outsiders who live in our land.
He takes good care of children whose fathers have died.
He also takes good care of widows.
But he causes evil people to fail
in everything they do.
10The Lord rules forever.
The God of Zion will rule for all time to come.
Praise the Lord.
