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
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!
