Psalms 146 Comparison: Geneva Bible 1599 vs King James Version
Psalms 146
1Praise ye the Lord. Praise thou the Lord, O my soule.
2I will prayse the Lord during my life: as long as I haue any being, I wil sing vnto my God.
3Put not your trust in princes, nor in the sonne of man, for there is none helpe in him.
4His breath departeth, and he returneth to his earth: then his thoughtes perish.
5Blessed is he, that hath the God of Iaakob for his helpe, whose hope is in the Lord his God.
6Which made heauen and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth his fidelitie for euer:
7Which executeth iustice for the oppressed: which giueth bread to the hungry: the Lord loseth the prisoners.
8The Lord giueth sight to the blinde: the Lord rayseth vp the crooked: the Lord loueth the righteous.
9The Lord keepeth the strangers: he relieueth the fatherlesse and widowe: but he ouerthroweth the way of the wicked.
10The Lord shall reigne for euer: O Zion, thy God endureth from generation to generation. Prayse ye the Lord.
Psalms 146
1Praise ye the Lord. Praise the Lord, O my soul.
2While I live will I praise the Lord: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.
3Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.
4His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.
5Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God:
6Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever:
7Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The Lord looseth the prisoners:
8The Lord openeth the eyes of the blind: the Lord raiseth them that are bowed down: the Lord loveth the righteous:
9The Lord preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.
10The Lord shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the Lord.
