| 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. |
