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. |
