1O praise the Lord, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people.
1I love the LORD, because he listens to my voice, and my cries for mercy.
2For his mercy is confirmed upon us: and the truth of the Lord remaineth for ever.
2Because he has turned his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live.
