Praise the Lord, my soul

Alleluia, of Aggeus and Zacharias.

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:

In the children of men, in whom there is no salvation.

His spirit shall go forth, and he shall return into his earth: in that day all their thoughts shall perish.

Blessed is he who hath the God of Jacob for his helper, whose hope is in the Lord his God:

Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all things that are in them.

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:

The Lord enlighteneth the blind. The Lord lifteth up them that are cast down: the Lord loveth the just.

The Lord keepeth the strangers, he will support the fatherless and the widow: and the ways of sinners he will destroy.

The Lord shall reign for ever: thy God, O Sion, unto generation and generation.

Praise the Lord, my soul

Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD, my soul.

While I live, I will praise the LORD. I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.

Don’t put your trust in princes, in a son of man in whom there is no help.

His spirit departs, and he returns to the earth. In that very day, his thoughts perish.

Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD, his God,

who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them; who keeps truth forever;

who executes justice for the oppressed; who gives food to the hungry. The LORD frees the prisoners.

The LORD opens the eyes of the blind. The LORD raises up those who are bowed down. The LORD loves the righteous.

The LORD preserves the foreigners. He upholds the fatherless and widow, but he turns the way of the wicked upside down.

The LORD will reign forever; your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise the LORD!
