Praise the LORD. Praise the LORD, my soul.

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

4 His breath goes forth, he returns to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.

6 Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keeps truth for ever:

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

7 Which executes judgment for the oppressed: which gives food to the hungry. The LORD looses the prisoners:

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 them that are bowed down: the LORD loves the righteous:

9 The LORD perserves the strangers; he relieves the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turns upside down.
