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.

Psalm 146
1Hallelujah!
Praise the Lord, my soul!
2I want to praise the Lord throughout my life.
I want to make music to praise my God as long as I live.
3Do not trust influential people,
mortals who cannot help you.
4When they breathe their last breath, they return to the ground.
On that day their plans come to an end.
5Blessed are those who receive help from the God of Jacob.
Their hope rests on the Lord their God,
6who made heaven, earth,
the sea, and everything in them.
The Lord remains faithful forever.
7He brings about justice for those who are oppressed.
He gives food to those who are hungry.
The Lord sets prisoners free.
8The Lord gives sight to blind people.
The Lord straightens ⌞the backs⌟ of those who are bent over.
The Lord loves righteous people.
9The Lord protects foreigners.
The Lord gives relief to orphans and widows.
But he keeps wicked people from reaching their goal.
10The Lord rules as king forever.
Zion, your God rules throughout every generation.
Hallelujah!
