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 all my life long.
3	Do not put your trust in princes, in mortals, in whom there is no help.
4	When their breath departs, they return to the earth; on that very day their plans perish.
5	Happy are those whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD their God,
6	who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them; who keeps faith forever;
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 strangers; he upholds the orphan and the widow, but the way of the wicked he brings to ruin.
10	The LORD will reign forever, your God, O Zion, for all generations. Praise the LORD!
