Lauda, anima mea.
1 Praise the Lord, O my soul: * while I live, will I | praise the | Lord; ||
yea, as long as I have any being, I will sing | praises | 3 unto my | God. ||
2 O put not your trust in princes, nor in any | child of | man; ||
for there | is no | help in | them. ||
3 For when the breath of man goeth forth, he shall turn a- | gain • to his | earth, ||
and then | all his | thoughts | perish. ||
4 Blessed is he that hath the God of | Jacob • for his | help, ||
and whose | hope is • in the | Lord his | God: ||
5 Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that | therein | is; ||
who | 3 keepeth his | 3 promise for | ever; ||
*§ 6 Who | helpeth • them to | right ||
Or, 6 Who helpeth them to | right that • suffer | wrong; ||
who | feed- | eth the | hungry. ||
that suffer | wrong; * who | 3 feedeth the | hungry. ||
7 The Lord looseth men | out of | prison; ||
the | Lord • giveth | sight • to the | blind. ||
8 The Lord helpeth | them • that are | fallen; ||
the | Lord | careth • for the | righteous. ||
9 The Lord careth for the strangers; * he defendeth the | father•less and | widow: ||
as for the way of the ungodly, he | 3 turneth it | upside | down. ||
10 The Lord thy God, O Sion, shall be | King for • ever- | more, ||
3 and | throughout | all • gener- | ations. ||
Glory | be • to the | Father, ||
and to the Son, | and • to the | Holy | Ghost; ||
As it | was in • the be- | ginning, ||
is now, and ever shall be, * | world with•out | end. A- | men. ||
