The Presbyterian Hymnal ‎#254

254. Psalm 146

Refrain:
I will praise my God all the days of my life.

5 Happy are those whose help is the God of Jacob,
whose hope is in the Lord their God,
6 who made heaven and earth,
the sea, and all that is in them;
7 who keeps faith for ever;
who executes justice for the oppressed;
who gives food to the hungry. [Refrain]

8 The Lord sets the prisoners free;
the Lord opens the eyes of the blind.
The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down;
the Lord loves the righteous.

9 The Lord watches over the strangers;
he upholds the orphan and the widow,
but the way of the wicked he brings to ruin. [Refrain]
10 The Lord will reign for ever,
your God, O Zion, to all generations.
Praise the Lord! [Refrain]
