1 Praise the Lord!My whole being, praise the Lord.
2 I will praise the Lord all my life;I will sing praises to my God as long as I live.
3 Do not put your trust in princesor other people, who cannot save you.
4 When people die, they are buried.Then all of their plans come to an end.
5 Happy are those who are helped by the God of Jacob.Their hope is in the Lord their God.
6 He made heaven and earth,the sea and everything in it.He remains loyal forever.
7 He does what is fair for those who have been wronged.He gives food to the hungry.The Lord sets the prisoners free.
8 The Lord gives sight to the blind.The Lord lifts up people who are in trouble.The Lord loves those who do right.
9 The Lord protects the foreigners.He defends the orphans and widows,but he blocks the way of the wicked.
10 The Lord will be King forever.Jerusalem, your God is everlasting.Praise the Lord!
