[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!
