| 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! | |
