[[Praise ye the Lord.]]
[1]Praise thou the Lord, O my soul.
[2]I will praise the Lord during my life: as long as I have any being, I will sing unto my God.
[3]Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, for there is none help in him.
[4]His breath departeth, and he returneth to his earth: then his thoughts perish.
[5]Blessed 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 his fidelity forever:
[7]Which executeth justice for the oppressed: which giveth bread to the hungry: the Lord looseth the prisoners.
[8]The Lord giveth sight to the blind: the Lord raiseth up the crooked: the Lord loveth the righteous.
[9]The Lord keepeth the strangers: he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but he overthroweth the way of the wicked.
[10]The Lord shall reign forever: O Zion, thy God endureth from generation to generation. Praise ye the Lord.
