n Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord, O my soul!
2
I will praise the Lord o as long as I live;
p I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.
3
q Put not your trust in princes,
r in a son of man, in whom there is s no salvation.
4
When t his breath departs, he returns to the earth;
on that very day his plans perish.
5
u Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob,
whose v hope is in the Lord his God,
6
w who made heaven and earth,
the sea, and all that is in them,
x who keeps faith forever;
7
y who executes justice for the oppressed,
z who gives food to the hungry.
a The Lord sets the prisoners free;
8
b the Lord opens the eyes of the blind.
c The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down;
d the Lord loves the righteous.
9
e The Lord watches over the sojourners;
f he upholds the widow and the fatherless,
but g the way of the wicked he brings to ruin.
10
h The Lord will reign forever,
your God, O Zion, to all generations.
n Praise the Lord!
