Praise ye the Lord: him praise, my soul

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Praise ye the Lord: him praise, my soul. 2 I’ll praise God while I live; while I have being to my God in songs I’ll praises give. 3 Trust not in princes, nor man’s son, in whom there is no stay: 4 his breath departs, to’s earth he turns; that day his thoughts decay. 5 O happy is that man and blest, whom Jacob’s God doth aid; whose hope upon the Lord doth rest, and on his God is stayed: 6 who made the earth and heavens high, who made the swelling deep, and all that is within the same; who truth doth ever keep: 7 Who righteous judgment executes for those oppressed that be, who to the hungry giveth food; and sets the prisoners free. 8 The Lord doth give the blind their sight, the bowed down doth raise: the Lord doth dearly love all those that walk in upright ways. 9 The stranger’s shield, the widow’s stay, the orphan’s help is he: but yet by him the wicked’s way turned upside down shall be. 10 The Lord shall reign for evermore: thy God, O Zion, he to generations all shall reign. Praise to the Lord give ye. Scripture: Psalm 146 Used With Tune: ABRIDGE (ST STEPHEN)
