Psalms 146

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Hallelujah!	1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul.
2 Praise the LORD, my soul; I shall praise the LORD all my life, sing praise to my God while I live.	2 While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.
3 I Put no trust in princes, in mere mortals powerless to save.	3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.
4 When they breathe their last, they return to the earth; that day all their planning comes to nothing.	4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.
5 Happy those whose help is Jacob's God, whose hope is in the LORD, their God,	5 Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God:
6 The maker of heaven and earth, the seas and all that is in them, Who keeps faith forever,	6 Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever:
7 secures justice for the oppressed, gives food to the hungry. The LORD sets prisoners free;	7 Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners:
8 the LORD gives sight to the blind. The LORD raises up those who are bowed down; the LORD loves the righteous.	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 protects the stranger, sustains the orphan and the widow, but thwarts the way of the wicked.	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 forever, your God, Zion, through all generations! Hallelujah!	10 The LORD shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD.
