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. | |
