Psalms 146

KING JAMES BIBLECATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul.1 Alleluia. Praise the Lord, because the psalm is good. Delightful and beautiful praise shall be for our God.
2 While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.2 The Lord builds up Jerusalem. He will gather together the dispersed of Israel.
3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.3 He heals the contrite of heart, and he binds up their sorrows.
4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.4 He numbers the multitude of the stars, and he calls them all by their names.
5 Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God:5 Great is our Lord, and great is his virtue. And of his wisdom, there is no number.
6 Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever:6 The Lord lifts up the meek, but he brings down the sinner, even to the ground.
7 Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners:7 Sing before the Lord with confession. Play psalms to our God on a stringed instrument.
8 The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous:8 He covers heaven with clouds, and he prepares rain for the earth. He produces grass on the mountains and herbs for the service of men.
9 The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.9 He gives their food to beasts of burden and to young ravens that call upon him.
10 The LORD shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD.10 He will not have good will for the strength of the horse, nor will he be well pleased with the legs of a man.
11 The Lord is well pleased with those who fear him and with those who hope in his mercy.
