^(A)Praise the Lord, O my soul!
^2 (B)While I live I will praise the Lord;
I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.

^3 (C)Do not put your trust in princes,
Nor in ^[b]a son of man, in whom there is no ^[c]help.
^4 (D)His spirit departs, he returns to his earth;
In that very day ^(E)his plans perish.

^5 (F)Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help,
Whose hope is in the Lord his God,
^6 (G)Who made heaven and earth,
The sea, and all that is in them;
Who keeps truth forever,
^7 (H)Who executes justice for the oppressed,
^(I)Who gives food to the hungry.
^(J)The Lord gives freedom to the prisoners.

^8 (K)The Lord opens the eyes of the blind;
^(L)The Lord raises those who are bowed down;
The Lord loves the righteous.
^9 (M)The Lord watches over the strangers;
He relieves the fatherless and widow;
^(N)But the way of the wicked He ^[d]turns upside down.

^10 (O)The Lord shall reign forever—
Your God, O Zion, to all generations.

Praise the Lord!
