1Praise ye the Lord . Praise the Lord , O my soul.
2While I live will I praise the Lord : I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.
3Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man,
In whom there is no help.
4His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth;
In that very day his thoughts perish.
5Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help,
Whose hope is in the Lord his God:
6Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is:
Which keepeth truth for ever:
7Which executeth judgment for the oppressed:
Which giveth food to the hungry.
The Lord looseth the prisoners:
8The Lord openeth the eyes of the blind:
The Lord raiseth them that are bowed down:
The Lord loveth the righteous:
9The Lord preserveth the strangers; He relieveth the fatherless and widow:
But the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.
10The Lord shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, Unto all generations. Praise ye the Lord .
