Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul. While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being. Put not your trust in princes, \nor\ in the son of man, in whom \there is\ no help. His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish. Happy \is he\ that \hath\ the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope \is\ in the LORD his God: Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein \is\: which keepeth truth for ever: Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners: The LORD openeth \the eyes of\ the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous: The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down. The LORD shall reign for ever, \even\ thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD.
