The LORD, an Abundant Helper.

^1 (F1)Praise ^(F2)the LORD!
^(C1)Praise the LORD, my soul!

² I will praise the LORD ^(C1)while I live;
I will ^(C2)sing praises to my God while I ^(F1)have my being.

^3 (C1)Do not trust in noblemen,
In ^(F1)mortal ^(C2)man, in whom there is ^(C3)no salvation.

⁴ His ^(C1)spirit departs, he ^(C2)returns to ^(F1)the earth;
On that very day his ^(C3)plans perish.

^5 (C1)Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob,
Whose ^(C2)hope is in the LORD his God,

⁶ Who ^(C1)made heaven and earth,
The ^(C2)sea and everything that is in them;
Who ^(C3)keeps ^(F1)faith forever;

⁷ Who ^(C1)executes justice for the oppressed;
Who ^(C2)gives food to the hungry.
The LORD ^(C3)frees the prisoners.

⁸ The LORD ^(C1)opens the eyes of those who are blind;
The LORD ^(C2)raises up those who are bowed down;
The LORD ^(C3)loves the righteous.

⁹ The LORD ^(C1)watches over strangers;
He ^(F1)(C2)supports the fatherless and the widow,
But He ^(F2)thwarts ^(C3)the way of the wicked.

¹⁰ The LORD will ^(C1)reign forever,
Your God, Zion, to all generations.
^(F1)Praise ^(F2)the LORD!
