18 The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him: yea, all
such as call upon him faithfully.
19 He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will
hear their cry, and will help them.
20 The Lord preserveth all them that love him: but scattereth
abroad all the ungodly.
21 My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord: and let all
flesh give thanks unto his holy Name for ever and ever.
PSALM 146. _Lauda, anima mea_.
Praise the Lord, O my soul; while I live will I praise the Lord:
yea, as long as I have any being, I will sing praises unto my God.
2 O put not your trust in princes, nor in any child of man: for
there is no help in them.
3 For when the breath of man goeth forth he shall turn again to
his earth: and then all his thoughts perish.
4 Blessed is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help: and whose
hope is in the Lord his God;
5 Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: who
keepeth his promise for ever;
6 Who helpeth them to right that suffer wrong: who feedeth the
hungry.
7 The Lord looseth men out of prison: the Lord giveth sight to the
blind.
8 The Lord helpeth them that are fallen: the Lord careth for the
righteous.
9 The Lord careth for the strangers, he defendeth the fatherless
and widow: as for the way of the ungodly, he turneth it upside down.
10 The Lord thy God, O Sion, shall be King for evermore: and
throughout all generations.
