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! With my whole being I praise the Lord!
2I will praise the Lord while I live; I will sing praises to my God while I have breath.
3Don't put your confidence in human leaders—they can't save you.
4Once they breathe no more, they go back to dust. On that very day everything they planned dies with them.
5Happy are those who have the God of Jacob to help them—their hope is in the Lord their God—
6the one who made heaven and earth, and the sea along with everything it contains. He is trustworthy forever.
7He makes sure the oppressed receive justice. He gives food to the hungry. The Lord sets the prisoners free.
8The Lord makes the blind see. The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down. The Lord loves those who do what's right.
9The Lord takes care of strangers among us. He looks after widows and orphans. But he makes life difficult for the wicked.
10The Lord will reign forever. Zion, he will be your God for all generations. Praise the Lord!
