Praise the Lord, my soul

1
Alleluia, of Aggeus and Zacharias.
2
Praise the Lord, O my soul, in my life I will praise the Lord: I will sing to my God as long as I shall be. Put not your trust in princes:
3
In the children of men, in whom there is no salvation.
4
His spirit shall go forth, and he shall return into his earth: in that day all their thoughts shall perish.
5
Blessed is he who hath the God of Jacob for his helper, whose hope is in the Lord his God:
6
Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all things that are in them.
7
Who keepeth truth for ever: who executeth judgment for them that suffer wrong: who giveth food to the hungry. The Lord looseth them that are fettered:
8
The Lord enlighteneth the blind. The Lord lifteth up them that are cast down: the Lord loveth the just.
9
The Lord keepeth the strangers, he will support the fatherless and the widow: and the ways of sinners he will destroy.
10
The Lord shall reign for ever: thy God, O Sion, unto generation and generation.

Praise the Lord, my soul

1
Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD, my soul.
2
While I live, I will praise the LORD. I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.
3
Don’t put your trust in princes, in a son of man in whom there is no help.
4
His spirit departs, and he returns to the earth. In that very day, his thoughts perish.
5
Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD, his God,
6
who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them; who keeps truth forever;
7
who executes justice for the oppressed; who gives food to the hungry. The LORD frees the prisoners.
8
The LORD opens the eyes of the blind. The LORD raises up those who are bowed down. The LORD loves the righteous.
9
The LORD preserves the foreigners. He upholds the fatherless and widow, but he turns the way of the wicked upside down.
10
The LORD will reign forever; your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise the LORD!
