1 Alleluia. My soul, praise thou the Lord;
2 I shall praise the Lord in my life (or I shall praise the Lord all my life); I shall sing to my God as long as I shall be.
3 Do not ye trust in princes; neither in the sons of men, in whom is no health. (Do not ye trust in princes, or in your leaders; nor in other people, in whom there is no help, or deliverance.)
