1 Praise the LORD. "Praise the LORD, 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 human beings, who cannot save.4 When their spirit departs, they return to the ground; on that very day their plans come to nothing.5 Blessed are those whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD their God.6 He is the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them — he 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 foreigner 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.

1 Praise you the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul.2 While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises to my God while I have any being.3 Put not your trust in princes, 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 that has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God:6 Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keeps truth for ever:7 Which executes judgment for the oppressed: which gives food to the hungry. The LORD looses the prisoners:8 The LORD opens the eyes of the blind: the LORD raises them that are bowed down: the LORD loves the righteous:9 The LORD preserves the strangers; he relieves the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turns upside down.10 The LORD shall reign for ever, even your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise you the LORD.
