Praise theLord,(A)my soul.

2 I will praise theLordall my life;(B)
I will sing praise(C)to my God as long as I live.(D)
3 Do not put your trust in princes,(E)
in human beings,(F)who cannot save.
4 When their spirit departs, they return to the ground;(G)
on that very day their plans come to nothing.(H)
5 Blessed are those(I)whose help(J)is the God of Jacob,
whose hope is in theLordtheir God.

6 He is the Maker of heaven(K)and earth,
the sea, and everything in them—
he remains faithful(L)forever.
7 He upholds(M)the cause of the oppressed(N)
and gives food to the hungry.(O)
TheLordsets prisoners free,(P)
8 theLordgives sight(Q)to the blind,(R)
theLordlifts up those who are bowed down,(S)
theLordloves the righteous.(T)
9 TheLordwatches over the foreigner(U)
and sustains the fatherless(V)and the widow,(W)
but he frustrates the ways of the wicked.

10 TheLordreigns(X)forever,
your God, O Zion, for all generations.

Praise theLord.
