| 1 | Praise the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul. | |
| 2 | I will praise the LORD all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live. | |
| 3 | Do not put your trust in princes, in mortal men, who cannot save. | |
| 4 | When their spirit departs, they return to the ground; on that very day their plans come to nothing. | |
| 5 | Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD his God, | |
| 6 | the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them--the LORD, who remains faithful forever. | |
| 7 | He upholds the cause of the oppressed and gives food to the hungry. The LORD sets prisoners free, | |
| 8 | the LORD gives sight to the blind, the LORD lifts up those who are bowed down, the LORD loves the righteous. | |
| 9 | The LORD watches over the alien and sustains the fatherless and the widow, but he frustrates the ways of the wicked. | |
| 10 | The LORD reigns forever, your God, O Zion, for all generations. Praise the LORD. | |
