Praise the Lord,^(a) my soul.

² I will praise the Lord all 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 the Lord their 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)
The Lord sets prisoners free,^(p)
8     the Lord gives sight^(q) to the blind,^(r)
the Lord lifts up those who are bowed down,^(s)
    the Lord loves the righteous.^(t)
9 The Lord watches over the foreigner^(u)
    and sustains the fatherless^(v) and the widow,^(w)
    but he frustrates the ways of the wicked.

¹⁰ The Lord reigns^(x) forever,
    your God, O Zion, for all generations.

Praise the Lord.
