146:1 O praise the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul. |
146:2 While I live I will praise the LORD; I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being. |
146:3 Do not put your trust in princes, nor in the son of man in whom there is no salvation. |
146:4 His breath goes forth; he returns to the earth; in that very day his thoughts perish. |
146:5 Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God, |
146:6 Who made the heavens and earth, the sea and all that is in them; Who keeps truth forever; |
146:7 Who carries out justice for the oppressed; Who gives food to the hungry. The LORD lets the prisoners loose; |
146:8 The LORD opens the eyes of the blind; the LORD raises up those who are bowed down; the LORD loves the righteous; |
146:9 The LORD preserves the strangers; He sustains the fatherless and widow, but the way of the wicked He turns upside down. |
146:10 The LORD shall reign forever, even your God, O Zion, to all generations. O praise the LORD! |
