| 1 | Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD, O my soul! |
| 2 | I will praise the LORD as long as I live; I will sing praises to my God while I have being. |
| 3 | Put not your trust in princes, in a son of man, in whom there is no help. |
| 4 | When his breath departs he returns to his earth; on that very day his plans perish. |
| 5 | Happy is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD his God, |
| 6 | who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them; who keeps faith for ever; |
| 7 | who executes justice for the oppressed; who gives food to the hungry. The LORD sets the prisoners free; |
| 8 | the LORD opens the eyes of the blind. The LORD lifts up those who are bowed down; the LORD loves the righteous. |
| 9 | The LORD watches over the sojourners, he upholds the widow and the fatherless; but the way of the wicked he brings to ruin. |
| 10 | The LORD will reign for ever, thy God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise the LORD! |
