Psalm 146 Lauda, anima mea.
PRAISE the LORD, O my soul: while I live, will I praise the LORD; * yea, as long as I have any being, I will sing praises unto my God.
2O put not your trust in princes, nor in any child of man; * for there is no help in them.
3For when the breath of man goeth forth, he shall turn again to his earth, * and then all his thoughts perish.
4Blessed is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, * and whose hope is in the LORD his God:
5Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that therein is; * who keepeth his promise for ever;
6Who helpeth them to right that suffer wrong; * who feedeth the hungry.
7The LORD looseth men out of prison; * the LORD giveth sight to the blind.
8The LORD helpeth them that are fallen; * the LORD careth for the righteous.
9The LORD careth for the strangers; he defendeth the fatherless and widow: * as for the way of the ungodly, he turneth it upside down.
10The LORD thy God, O Sion, shall be King for evermore, * and throughout all generations.
