Psalm 146 :: American Standard Version (ASV)

Praise to Jehovah the Abundant Helper.

Psa 146:1
Praise ye Jehovah.
Praise Jehovah, O my soul.
Psa 146:2
While I live will I praise Jehovah:
I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.
Psa 146:3
Put not your trust in princes,
Nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.
Psa 146:4
His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth;
In that very day his thoughts perish.
Psa 146:5
Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help,
Whose hope is in Jehovah his God:
Psa 146:6
Who made heaven and earth,
The sea, and all that in them is;
Who keepeth truth for ever;
Psa 146:7
Who executeth justice for the oppressed;
Who giveth food to the hungry.
Jehovah looseth the prisoners;
Psa 146:8
Jehovah openeth the eyes of the blind;
Jehovah raiseth up them that are bowed down;
Jehovah loveth the righteous;
Psa 146:9
Jehovah preserveth the sojourners;
He upholdeth the fatherless and widow;
But the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.
Psa 146:10
Jehovah will reign for ever,
Thy God, O Zion, unto all generations.
Praise ye Jehovah.
