3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man in whom there is no salvation.
4 His spirit shall go forth, he shall return to his earth; in that very day all his thoughts shall perish.
5 Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God;
6 who made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is therein; who keeps truth for ever:
7 He who does justice unto the oppressed; who gives bread to the hungry. The Lord looses the prisoners:
8 The Lord opens the eyes of the blind; the Lord raises those that are bowed down; the Lord loves the righteous:
9 The Lord preserves the strangers; he raises up the fatherless and widow; but the way of the wicked he turns upside down.
