Psalms
The Psalter is Israel’s hymnbook: lament, praise, thanksgiving, royal psalms, and wisdom. It trains the heart to speak to God in trouble and in joy, and it points ahead to the Messiah.
American King James
Psalms 146
1Praise you the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul. 2While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises to my God while I have any being. 3Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. 4His breath goes forth, he returns to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish. 5Happy is he that has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God: 6Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keeps truth for ever: 7Which executes judgment for the oppressed: which gives food to the hungry. The LORD looses the prisoners: 8The LORD opens the eyes of the blind: the LORD raises them that are bowed down: the LORD loves the righteous: 9The LORD preserves the strangers; he relieves the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turns upside down. 10The LORD shall reign for ever, even your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise you the LORD.
