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