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.
