1 †Praise ye the Lord.

aPraise the Lord, O my soul.

2 bWhile I live will I praise the Lord:

I will sing praises unto my God bwhile I have any being.

3 cPut not your trust in princes,

dNor in the son of man, in whom there is no ||help.

4 eHis breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth;

In that very day fhis thoughts perish.

5 gHappy is he that hath the God of Jacob hfor his help,

Whose ihope is in the Lord his God:

6 k lWhich made heaven, and earth,

lThe sea, and all that therein is:

Which keepeth truth for ever:

7 mWhich executeth judgment for the oppressed:

Which giveth food to the nhungry.

oThe Lord plooseth the prisoners:

8 qThe Lord openeth the eyes of the blind:

The r xLord raiseth them that are bowed down:

sThe Lord loveth the righteous:

9 tThe Lord preserveth the strangers;

tHe urelieveth wthe fatherless and widow:

xBut the way of the wicked he yturneth upside down.

10 zThe Lord shall reign for ever,

Even thy God, O Zion, aunto all generations.

bPraise ye the Lord.

mHe calleth them all by their names.

5 uGreat is our Lord, and oof great power:

†pHis understanding is infinite.

6 qThe Lord rlifteth up the meek:

He casteth the wicked down to the ground.

7 sSing unto the Lord with thanksgiving;

uWho prepareth rain for the earth,

vWho maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.

9 wHe giveth to the beast his food,

He taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man.

11 zThe Lord taketh pleasure in them that fear him,

aIn those that hope in his mercy.

Praise thy God, O Zion.

13 For he hath strengthened bthe bars of thy gates;

He hath blessed thy children within thee.

14 †cHe maketh peace in thy borders,

And dfilleth thee with the †finest of the wheat.

15 eHe sendeth forth his commandment upon earth:

His word runneth very swiftly.

16 He giveth fsnow like wool:

He gscattereth the hhoarfrost like ashes.

17 He casteth forth his h iice like morsels:

Who can stand before his icold?

18 kHe sendeth out his word, and melteth them:

He causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow.

And as for his ojudgments, they have not known them.

pPraise ye the Lord.
