Psalm 146A: Psalm 146
Converse, 87.87.D. [high C]
| 1. |
1 Hallelujah! Praise Jehovah!
O my soul Jehovah praise!
2 While I live I'll praise Jehovah,
Praise my God through my days.
|
| 2. |
3 Put no confidence in princes,
Nor for help on man depend;
4 He shall die, to dust returning,
And his purposes shall end.
|
| 3. |
5 Happy is the man that chooses
Jacob's God to be his aid;
He is blessed whose hope of blessing
On the LORD his God is stayed.
|
| 4. |
6 He has made the earth and heaven,
Seas, and all that they contain;
He will keep His truth forever,
7 Rights of those oppressed maintain.
|
| 5. |
Food Jehovah gives the hungry.
8 Sight Jehovah gives the blind,
7 Freedom gives HE to the pris'ner,
7 Cheer to those bowed down in mind.
|
| 6. |
Well Jehovah loves the righteous
9 To the stranger is a stay,
Helps the fatherless and widow,
But subverts the sinner's way.
|
| 7. |
10 Yea, Jehovah reigns forever;
Through all ages He is King,
Even He, thy God, O Zion;
To Jehovah praises sing!
