Psalms 146

Thomson(i) 1 An Alleluia, of Aggaius and Zacharias. Praise the Lord, my soul: while I live I will praise the Lord. 2 I will sing praises to God, while I have a being. 3 Trust not in chiefs, nor in sons of men, in whom there is no safety. 4 His breath goeth out and he shall return to his earth; on that day all his projects shall perish. 5 Happy he whose helper is the God of Jacob: his hope is in the Lord his God, 6 who made the heaven and the earth, the sea and all the things in them; 7 who keepeth truth forever, executing judgment for the aggrieved, giving food to the hungry. 8 The Lord looseth them who were bound. The Lord causeth the blind to see clearly. The Lord raiseth up them who were broken down. The Lord loveth the righteous. 9 The Lord preserveth the strangers. He will support the orphan and the widow, and destroy the way of the wicked. 10 The Lord will reign forever; thy God, Sion, throughout all generations.
