Sung by the Highland Harmony Singers at a Festival of Psalmody. meter: 8 7 8 7 1 Praise the LORD, my soul! O praise him! 2 I’ll extol him all my days. While I live, to God my Saviour from my heart I will sing praise. 3 Do not put your trust in princes, mortal men who cannot save. 4 All their plans will come to nothing when they perish in the grave. 5 Blessèd is the one who truly looks for help to Jacob’s God; Blessèd is the one who places all his hope upon the LORD— 6 He who made the earth and heaven and the seas, with all their store; He who keeps his every promise, who is faithful evermore. 7 He delivers from oppression and relieves the hungry’s plight. He releases those in prison; 8 to the blind the LORD gives sight. Those who are bowed down he raises. God delights in righteousness. 9 He protects and cares for strangers, widows and the fatherless. He frustrates the wicked’s purpose. 10 So the LORD through endless days Reigns to every generation. Praise your God, O Zion, praise!
