Psalms 146 Comparison: Noyes Translation (1869) vs King James Version
Psalms 146
1Praise ye the LORD! Praise the LORD, O my soul!
2I will praise the LORD, as long as I live; I will sing praises to my God, while I have my being.
3Put not your trust in princes, In the son of man, in whom is no help!
4His breath goeth forth; he returneth to the dust; In that very day his plans perish.
5Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help; Whose hope is in the LORD, his God;
6Who made heaven and earth, The sea, and all that is therein; Who keepeth truth for ever;
7Who executeth judgment for the oppressed; Who giveth food to the hungry. The LORD setteth free the prisoners;
8The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind; The LORD raiseth up them that are bowed down; The LORD loveth the righteous.
9The LORD preserveth the strangers; He relieveth the fatherless and the widow; But the way of the wicked he maketh crooked.
10The LORD shall reign for ever; Thy God, O Zion! to all generations! Praise 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.
