PSAL. CXLVI.

PRaise God: the Lord praise, O my soul. I'le praise God while I live:Line 2 While I have being, to my God in songs I'le praises give. Trust not in Princes, nor mans son,Line 3 in whom there is no stay: His breath departs, to's earth he turns,Line 4 that day his thoughts decay.

O happy is that man and blest,Line 5 whom Jacobs God doth aid, Whose hope upon the Lord doth rest, and on his God is staid VVho made the earth and heavens high,Line 6 who made the swelling deep, And all that is within the same: who truth doth ever keep:
VVho righteous judgement executesLine 7 for those opprest that be; VVho to the hungry giveth food, God sets the prisoners free. The Lord doth give the blinde their sight,Line 8 the bowel down doth raise: The Lord doth dearly love all those that walk in upright wayes.
The strangers shield, the widows stay▪Line 9 the orphans help is he: But yet by him the wickeds way turn'd upside-down shall be. The Lord shall reign for evermore,Line 10 thy God, O Zion, He Reigns to all generations. Praise to the Lord give ye.
