[1] Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord, O my soul!
[2] While I live I will praise the Lord; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.
[3] Do not put your trust in princes, Nor in a son of man, in whom there is no help.
[4] His spirit departs, he returns to his earth; In that very day his plans perish.
[5] Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, Whose hope is in the Lord his God,
[6] Who made heaven and earth, The sea, and all that is in them; Who keeps truth forever,
[7] Who executes justice for the oppressed, Who gives food to the hungry. The Lord gives freedom to the prisoners.
[8] The Lord opens the eyes of the blind; The Lord raises those who are bowed down; The Lord loves the righteous.
[9] The Lord watches over the strangers; He relieves the fatherless and widow; But the way of the wicked He turns upside down.
[10] The Lord shall reign forever— Your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise the Lord!
