1Praise 2the LORD! aPraise the LORD, O my soul!
2I will praise the LORD awhile I live; I will bsing praises to my God while I have my being.
3aDo not trust in princes, In 1mortal bman, in whom there is cno salvation.
4His aspirit departs, he breturns to 1the earth; In that very day his cthoughts perish.
5How ablessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, Whose bhope is in the LORD his God,
6Who amade heaven and earth, The bsea and all that is in them; Who ckeeps 1faith forever;
7Who aexecutes justice for the oppressed; Who bgives food to the hungry. The LORD csets the prisoners free.
8The LORD aopens the eyes of the blind; The LORD braises up those who are bowed down; The LORD cloves the righteous;
9The LORD 1 aprotects the 2strangers; He 3 bsupports the fatherless and the widow, But He 4thwarts cthe way of the wicked.
10The LORD will areign forever, Your God, O Zion, to all generations. 1Praise 2the LORD!
