**Psalm 146**
 _Scottish Psalter Version_

1 Praise the LORD, my soul! O praise Him!
 2 I’ll extol Him all my days. While I
live, to God my Saviour from my heart I will sing praise.

3 Do not put your trust in princes,
 mortal men who cannot save. 4 All their plans
will come to nothing when they perish in the grave.

5 Blessed is the one who truly
 looks for help to Jacob’s God; Blessed is the one
who places all his hope upon the LORD–

6 He who made the earth and heaven
 and the seas, with all their store; He who keeps
His every promise, who is faithful evermore.

7 He delivers from oppression
 and relieves the hungry’s plight. He releases those
in prison; 8 to the blind the LORD gives sight.

Those who are bowed down He raises.
 God delights in righteousness. 9 He protects
and cares for strangers, widows and the fatherless.

He frustrates the wicked’s purpose.
 10 So the LORD through endless days Reigns 
to every generation. Praise your God, O Zion, praise!
