GOD IS AN ABUNDANT HELP

1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul.

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

3Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

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

5Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God:

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

7Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners:

8The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous:

9The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.

10The LORD shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD.

1 Praise yee the Lord: prayse the Lord, O my soule.

2While I liue, will I praise the Lord: I will sing praises vnto my God, while I haue any being.

3Put not your trust in Princes: nor in the sonne of man, in whom there is no helpe.

4His breath goeth foorth, he returneth to his earth: in that very day his thoughts perish.

5Happy is he that hath the God of Iacob for his helpe: whose hope is in the Lord his God:

6Which made heauen and earth, the Sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth trueth for euer:

7Which executeth iudgement for the oppressed, which giueth food to the hungry: the Lord looseth the prisoners.

8The Lord openeth the eyes of the blinde, the Lord raiseth them that are bowed downe: the Lord loueth the righteous.

9The Lord preserueth the strangers, he relieueth the fatherlesse and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth vpside downe.

10The Lord shall reigne for euer, euen thy God, O Zion, vnto all generations: Praise ye the Lord.

1 Hallelujah!

2 Praise the LORD, my soul; I will praise the LORD all my life, sing praise to my God while I live.

3 Put no trust in princes, in children of Adam powerless to save.

4 Who breathing his last, returns to the earth; that day all his planning comes to nothing.

5 Blessed the one whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD, his God,

6 The maker of heaven and earth, the seas and all that is in them, Who keeps faith forever,

7secures justice for the oppressed, who gives bread to the hungry. The LORD sets prisoners free;

8 the LORD gives sight to the blind. The LORD raises up those who are bowed down; the LORD loves the righteous.

9 The LORD protects the resident alien, comes to the aid of the orphan and the widow, but thwarts the way of the wicked.

10 The LORD shall reign forever, your God, Zion, through all generations! Hallelujah!

v 1-4 The Psalmist vows to praise the Lord all his life and asks the other to trust.
