| Chapter 146 |
1 |
Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul. --
|
2 |
While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being. --
|
3 |
Put not your trust in princes, [nor] in the son of man, in whom [there is] no help. --
|
4 |
His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish. --
|
5 |
Happy [is he] that [hath] the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope [is] in the LORD his God: --
|
6 |
Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein [is]: which keepeth truth for ever: --
|
7 |
Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners: --
|
8 |
The LORD openeth [the eyes of] the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous: --
|
9 |
The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down. --
|
10 |
The LORD shall reign for ever, [even] thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD. --
