2 I will praise the Lord all my life. I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.
3 Don't put your trust in human leaders. Don't trust in people. They can't save you.
4 When they die, they return to the ground. On that very day their plans are bound to fail.
5 Blessed are those who depend on the God of Jacob for help. Blessed are those who put their hope in the Lord their God.
6 He is the Maker of heaven and earth and the ocean. He made everything in them. The Lord remains faithful forever.
7 He stands up for those who are beaten down. He gives food to hungry people. The Lord sets prisoners free.
8 The Lord gives sight to those who are blind. The Lord lifts up those who feel helpless. The Lord loves those who do what is right.
