1 Praise ye LORD. Praise LORD, O my soul.2 While I live I will praise LORD. I will sing praises to my God while I have any being.3 Put not your trust in rulers, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.4 His breath goes forth, he returns to his earth. In that very day his thoughts perish.5 Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in 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. LORD releases the prisoners.8 LORD opens [the eyes of] the blind. LORD raises up those who are bowed down. LORD loves the righteous.9 LORD preserves the sojourners. He upholds the fatherless and widow. But the way of the wicked he turns upside down.10 LORD will reign forever, thy God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise ye LORD.
