Psalms 146
Intro: God alone worthy to be praised, and trusted.

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.
