1Praise ye the lord. Praise the lord, O my soul.Praise ye…: Heb. Hallelujah
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.help: or, salvation
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.
