Scripture: Prayers for Help

The Psalms
146

Praise for the LORD's Righteous Acts
1 Praise ye the LORD.
Praise the LORD, O my soul.


2 While I live will I praise the LORD:
I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.


3 Put not your trust in princes,
nor in the son of man,
in whom there is no help.


4 His breath goeth forth,
he returneth to his earth;
in that very day his thoughts perish.


5 Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help,
whose hope is in the LORD his God:


6 which made heaven, and earth,
the sea, and all that therein is:
which keepeth truth for ever:


7 which executeth judgment for the oppressed:
which giveth food to the hungry.
The LORD looseth the prisoners:


8 the LORD openeth the eyes of the blind:
the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down:
the LORD loveth the righteous:


9 the LORD preserveth the strangers;
he relieveth the fatherless and widow:
but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.


10 The LORD shall reign for ever,
even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations.
Praise ye the LORD.
