[1] Praise the Lord! My soul, praise the Lord!
[2] I will praise the Lord all my life. I will sing praises to him all my life.
[3] Don’t depend on your leaders for help. Don’t trust people. Why? Because people can’t save you.
[4] People die and are buried. And then, all of their plans to help are gone.
[5] But people who ask God for help are very happy. Those people depend on the Lord their God.
[6] The Lord made heaven and earth. The Lord made the sea and everything in it. The Lord will protect them forever.
[7] The Lord does right things for people who have been hurt. God gives food to hungry people. The Lord frees people locked in prison.
[8] The Lord helps blind people see again. The Lord helps people who are in trouble. The Lord loves good people.
[9] The Lord protects strangers in our country. The Lord cares for widows and orphans. But the Lord destroys bad people.
[10] The Lord will rule forever! Zion, your God will rule forever and ever! Praise the Lord!
