1  Alleluia. My soul, praise thou the Lord;

2 I shall praise the Lord in my life; I shall sing to my God as long as I shall be.

3 Do not ye trust in princes; neither in the sons of men, in whom is no health.

4 The spirit of him shall go out, and he shall turn again into his earth; in that day all the thoughts of them shall perish.

5 He is blessed, of whom the God of Jacob is his helper; his hope is in his Lord God,

6 that made heaven, and earth; the sea, and all things that be in those [or them]. Which keepeth truth into the world,

7  he maketh doom to them that suffer wrong; he giveth meat to them that be hungry. The Lord unbindeth fettered men;

8 the Lord lighteneth blind men. The Lord raiseth men hurled or hurtled down; the Lord loveth just men.

9 The Lord keepeth comelings; he shall take up a motherless child, and a widow; and he shall destroy the ways of sinners.

10 The Lord shall reign into the worlds; Zion, thy God shall reign in generation and into generation.
