While I live will I praise the Lord : I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.

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:
6
Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever:
7
Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The Lord looseth the prisoners:
8
The Lord openeth the eyes of the blind: the Lord raiseth them that are bowed down: the Lord loveth the righteous:
9
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 .
