Psalm 146 (BCP 2019)

1 Praise the LORD, O my soul; *
      while I live I will praise the LORD.
2 Indeed, as long as I have my being, *
      I will sing praises unto my God.
3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in any child of man, *
      for there is no help in them.
4 For when one breathes his last, he shall return again to the earth, *
      and in that day all his thoughts perish.
5 Blessed is the one who has the God of Jacob for his help *
      and whose hope is in the LORD his God,
6 Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is therein; *
      who keeps his promise for ever;
7 Who does right to those who suffer wrong; *
      and who feeds the hungry.
8 The LORD sets prisoners free; *
      the LORD gives sight to the blind.
9 The LORD helps those who have fallen; *
      the LORD loves the righteous.
10 The LORD cares for the strangers in the land; he defends the fatherless and widow; *
      but the way of the ungodly he makes crooked.
11 The LORD shall be King for evermore, *
      even your God, O Zion, throughout all generations. Praise the LORD.
