1 Praise ye theLord. Praise theLord, O my soul.
2 While I live will I praise theLord: 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 theLordhis God:
6 Which made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is; which keepeth truth for ever:
7 Which executeth judgment for the oppressed; which giveth food to the hungry: theLordlooseth the prisoners;
8 TheLordopeneththe eyes ofthe blind; theLordraiseth up them that are bowed down; theLordloveth the righteous;
9 TheLordpreserveth the strangers; he upholdeth the fatherless and widow; but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.
10 TheLordshall reign for ever, thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye theLord.
