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