Psalm 146

O Praise the Lord
 

Praise the Lord my soul.

 As long as I live I will Praise the Lord;

  I will sing Psalms to my God all my life long.

 Put no faith in Princes,

in any man , who has no power to save.

He breathes his last breath, he returns to the dust;

and in that same hour all his thinking ends.

Happy the man whose helper is the God of Jacob,

Whose hopes are in the Lord his God,

Maker of Heaven and Earth,

The sea ,and all that is in them

Who serves wrongdoers as he has sworn

and deals out justice to the oppressed.

The Lord feeds the Hungry and set the prisoner free.

The Lord restores sight to the blind

and straightens backs which are bent;

The Lord loves the righteous

and watches over the stranger;

The Lord gives heart to the orphan and widow.

but turns the course of the wicked to their ruin.

The Lord shall reign for ever,

Thy God , O Zion for all generations.

O Praise the Lord.
