CHAPTER 146
Praise ye the L
ORD
. Praise the L
ORD
, O my soul.
2
While I live will I praise the L
ORD
: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.
3
Put not your trust in princes,
nor
in the son of man, in whom
there is
no help.
4
His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.
5
Happy
is he
that
hath
the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope
is
in the L
ORD
his God:
6
Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein
is:
which keepeth truth for
ever:
7
Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The L
ORD
looseth the prisoners:
8
The L
ORD
openeth
the eyes of
the blind: the L
ORD
raiseth them that are bowed down: the
L
ORD
loveth the righteous:
9
The L
ORD
preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of
the wicked he turneth upside down.
10
The L
ORD
shall reign for ever,
even
thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the
L
ORD
.
CHAPTER 147
Praise ye the L
ORD
: for
it is
good to sing praises unto our God; for
it is
pleasant;
and
praise is
comely.
2
The L
ORD
doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel.
3
He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.
4
He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by
their
names.
5
Great
is
our Lord, and of great power: his understanding
is
infinite.
6
The L
ORD
lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground.
7
Sing unto the L
ORD
with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God:
8
Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass
to grow upon the mountains.
9
He giveth to the beast his food,
and
to the young ravens which cry.
10
He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man.
11
The L
ORD
taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.
12
Praise the L
ORD
, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion.
13
For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; he hath blessed thy children within thee.
14
He maketh peace
in
thy borders,
and
filleth thee with the finest of the wheat.
15
He sendeth forth his commandment
upon
earth: his word runneth very swiftly.
16
He giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the hoar frost like ashes.
