Psalm 146

1 Dauid declareth his great zeale that he hathe to praiſe God, 3 And teacheth, not to truſt in man, but onely in God mightie. 7 Which deliuereth the afflicted, 9 Defendeth the ſtrangers, comforteth the fatherles, and the widowes, 10 And reigneth for euer.
¶ Praiſe ye the Lord.
1.PRaiſe thou the Lord, ô my ſoule.
2.I wil praiſe the Lord during my life: as long as I haue anie being, I wil ſing vnto my God.
3.Put not your truſt in princes, nor in the ſonne of mā, for there is none helpe in hī.
4.His breath departeth, & he returneth to his earth: then his thoghts periſh.
5.Bleſſed is he, that hathe the God of Iaakób for his helpe, whoſe hope is in ȳ Lord his God.
6.Which made heauen & earth, the ſea, and all that therein is: which kepeth his fidelitie for euer:
7.Which executeth iuſtice for the oppreſſed: which giueth bread to the hūgrie: the Lord looſeth the priſoners.
8.The Lord giueth ſight to the blinde: the Lord raiſeth vp the croked: the Lord loueth the righteous.
9.The Lord kepeth the ſtrangers: he relieueth the fatherles and widowe: but he ouerthroweth the way of the wicked.
10.The Lord ſhal reigne for euer: ô Zión, thy God endureth from generacion to generacion. Praiſe ye the Lord.
