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.

Psalms 146
146
Praise the Lord, O My Soul
1Hallelujah! #146:1 Or Hallelu YAH, meaning Praise the Lord; also in verse 10
Praise the Lord, O my soul.
2I will praise the Lord all my life;
I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.
3Put not your trust in princes,
in mortal man, who cannot save.
4When his spirit departs, he returns to the ground;
on that very day his plans perish.
5Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob,
whose hope is in the Lord his God,
6the Maker of heaven and earth,
the sea, and everything in them.
He remains faithful forever.
7He executes justice for the oppressed
and gives food to the hungry.
The Lord sets the prisoners free,
8the Lord opens the eyes of the blind,
the Lord lifts those who are weighed down,
the Lord loves the righteous.
9The Lord protects foreigners;
He sustains the fatherless and the widow,
but the ways of the wicked He frustrates.
10The Lord reigns forever,
your God, O Zion, for all generations.
Hallelujah!
