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 ye the Lord. Praise thou the Lord, O my soule. 2I will prayse the Lord during my life: as long as I haue any being, I wil sing vnto my God. 3Put not your trust in princes, nor in the sonne of man, for there is none helpe in him. 4His breath departeth, and he returneth to his earth: then his thoughtes perish. 5Blessed is he, that hath the God of Iaakob for his helpe, whose hope is in the Lord his God. 6Which made heauen and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth his fidelitie for euer: 7Which executeth iustice for the oppressed: which giueth bread to the hungry: the Lord loseth the prisoners. 8The Lord giueth sight to the blinde: the Lord rayseth vp the crooked: the Lord loueth the righteous. 9The Lord keepeth the strangers: he relieueth the fatherlesse and widowe: but he ouerthroweth the way of the wicked. 10The Lord shall reigne for euer: O Zion, thy God endureth from generation to generation. Prayse ye the Lord.
