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 in them is; Which keepeth truth for ever: 7 Which executeth judgement 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 up them that are bowed down; The LORD loveth the righteous; 9 The LORD preserveth the strangers; He upholdeth the fatherless and widow; But the way of the wicked he turneth upside down. 10 The LORD shall reign for ever, Thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD. |
