Psalm 146
146
Praise for the Lord's Righteous Acts
1Praise ye the Lord.
Praise the Lord, O my soul.
2While I live will I praise the Lord:
I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.
3Put not your trust in princes,
nor in the son of man,
in whom there is no help.
4His breath goeth forth,
he returneth to his earth;
in that very day his thoughts perish.
5Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help,
whose hope is in the Lord his God:
6which made heaven, and earth,
the sea, and all that therein is:
which keepeth truth for ever:
7which executeth judgment for the oppressed:
which giveth food to the hungry.
The Lord looseth the prisoners:
8the Lord openeth the eyes of the blind:
the Lord raiseth them that are bowed down:
the Lord loveth the righteous:
9the Lord preserveth the strangers;
he relieveth the fatherless and widow:
but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.
10The Lord shall reign for ever,
even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations.
Praise ye the Lord.

Psalms 146
146
1Praise the Lord!
My soul, praise the Lord!
2I will praise the Lord all my life.
I will sing praises to him as long as I live.
3Don’t depend on your leaders for help.
Don’t depend on people, because they cannot save you.
4People die and are buried.
Then all their plans to help are gone.
5It is a great blessing for people to have the God of Jacob to help them.
They depend on the Lord their God.
6He made heaven and earth.
He made the sea and everything in it.
He can be trusted to do what he says.
7He does what is right for those who have been hurt.
He gives food to the hungry.
The Lord frees people locked up in prison.
8The Lord makes the blind see again.
The Lord helps those who are in trouble.
The Lord loves those who do right.
9The Lord protects strangers in our country.
He cares for widows and orphans,
but he destroys the wicked.
10The Lord will rule forever!
Zion, your God will rule forever and ever!
Praise the Lord!
