O praise the Lord! My soul, proclaim
1 O praise the LORD! My soul, proclaim
the glories of your Maker's name!
In human powers put not your trust,
for even kings return to dust.
2 But happy all whose hopes rely
on God who made the earth and sky,
the God of Jacob, God the LORD,
for evermore to be adored!
3 His faithfulness is always sure:
he saves the oppressed, he feeds the poor,
he sends the labouring conscience peace
and grants the prisoner sweet release.
4 The LORD has eyes to give the blind;
the LORD supports the sinking mind;
he helps the stranger in distress,
and widows and the fatherless.
5 He keeps the righteous in his care,
but brings the wicked to despair;
O praise the LORD, his name adore!
Our God shall reign for evermore!
Psalm 146, David G. Preston based on Isaac Watts (1674 - 1748)
