Psalm Chapter 146

Psalm 146: Praise, Trust, and the Lord Who Helps

Psalm 146 calls the soul to praise the Lord for as long as life endures, and warns against trusting in princes or any human being, whose breath departs and whose plans perish. It declares the happiness of those who have the God of Jacob as their help and place their hope in the Lord, the Maker of heaven, earth, sea, and all that is in them, who keeps truth forever. The psalm describes the Lord’s works of justice and mercy: executing judgment for the oppressed, feeding the hungry, freeing prisoners, opening the eyes of the blind, raising the bowed down, loving the righteous, preserving strangers, and relieving the fatherless and widow, while overturning the way of the wicked. It ends by proclaiming that the Lord will reign forever in Zion for all generations.

Psalm 146

Praise ye the Lord.

Praise the Lord, O my soul.

While I live will I praise the
Lord: I will sing praises unto

my God while I have any being.

Put not your trust in princes, nor in
the son of man, in whom there is no help.

His breath goeth forth, he
returneth to his earth; in that

very day his thoughts perish.

Happy is he that hath the God
of Jacob for his help, whose

hope is in the Lord his God:

Which made heaven, and earth,
the sea, and all that therein

is: which keepeth truth for ever:

Which executeth judgment
for the oppressed: which

giveth food to the hungry.

The Lord looseth the prisoners:

The Lord openeth the eyes of the blind:
the Lord raiseth them that are bowed

down: the Lord loveth the righteous:

The Lord preserveth the strangers;
he relieveth the fatherless

and widow: but the way of the
wicked he turneth upside down.

The Lord shall reign for ever, even
thy God, O Zion, unto all generations.

Praise ye the Lord.
