Praise the Lord O My Soul

Praise the Lord, O my soul.
  I will praise the Lord all my life;
  I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.

Do not put your trust in princes,
  in mortal men, who cannot save.
When their spirit departs, they return to the ground;
  on that very day their plans come to nothing.

Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob,
  whose hope is in the Lord his God,
the Maker of heaven and earth,
  the sea and everything in them..
  the Lord, who remains faithful forever.
He upholds the cause of the oppressed
  and gives food to the hungry.
The Lord sets the prisoners free,
  the Lord gives sight to the blind,
the Lord lifts up those who are bowed down,
  the Lord loves the righteous.
The Lord watches over the alien
  and sustains the fatherless and the widow,
  but he frustrates the ways of the wicked.

The Lord reigns forever,
your God, O Zion, for all generations.

Praise the Lord.

Psalm 146
from the New International Version.


May God be with you this week.
May the reading of his psalm restore you and strengthen you
and sustain you in your faith.

May  He bless you and keep you.
The Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you.
The Lord lift up his countenance upon you
and give you His Peace.
