Psalms 146

Which worship songs are based on Psalms 146?

  1. Sing His Praise Again (Oh My Soul) — Bethel Music (2020) Psalms 146:1-2

    The chorus addresses the singer's own soul and commands it to praise God through song, closely following this psalm's opening movement.

  2. Praise (live) — Brandon Lake (2024) Psalms 146:1

    The recurring address to one's own soul closely reproduces the opening call of Psalm 146.

  3. Praise (Song Session) — Seph Schlueter, Essential Worship (2024) Psalms 146:1-2

    The chorus addresses the singer’s own soul with a call to praise, while the preceding line connects that praise to the duration of one’s life and breath. Together these details closely follow the opening of Psalm 146.

  4. Gratitude — Seventh Day Slumber (2026) Psalms 146:1-2

    The bridge echoes the psalmist’s self-directed summons for the soul to praise the Lord, while the song’s repeated and enduring worship parallels the psalm’s commitment to lifelong praise.

  5. My Worship — Phil Thompson (2017) Psalms 146:2

    The commitment to worship throughout the duration of one’s breathing life strongly parallels the psalmist’s personal vow to praise God for as long as he lives.

Psalms 146 (King James Version)

1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul.

2 While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.

3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.

5 Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God:

6 Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever:

7 Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners:

8 The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous:

9 The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.

10 The LORD shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD.
