THE BOOK OF
PSALMS
PSALM 146

Happy are they whose hope is in the Lord-The Lord looseth the prisoners, loveth the righteous, and reigneth forever.

  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.
