1Praise ye the Lord. Praise the Lord, O my soul.
1Let the Lord be praised. Give praise to 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.
2While I have breath I will give praise to the Lord: I will make melody to my God while I have my being.

5Happy is the man who has 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:

8The Lord openeth the eyes of the blind: the Lord raiseth them that are bowed down: the Lord loveth the righteous:
8The Lord makes open the eyes of the blind; the Lord is the lifter up of those who are bent down; the Lord is a lover of the upright;
