Psalm 146

(from Day 30/31 Morning Prayer)

Lauda, anima mea

  1. 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.
  2. O put not your trust in princes, nor in any child of man : for there is no help in them.
  3. For when the breath of man goeth forth he shall turn again to his earth : and then all his thoughts perish.
  4. Blessed is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help : and whose hope is in the Lord his God;
  5. Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that therein is : who keepeth his promise for ever;
  6. Who helpeth them to right that suffer wrong : who feedeth the hungry.
  7. The Lord looseth men out of prison : the Lord giveth sight to the blind.
  8. The Lord helpeth them that are fallen : the Lord careth for the righteous.
  9. The Lord careth for the strangers, he defendeth the fatherless and widow : as for the way of the ungodly, he turneth it upside down.
  10. The Lord thy God, O Sion, shall be King for evermore : and throughout all generations.
