¹Praise the Lord.

O my being, praise the Lord.

²I will praise the Lord in my life;

I will make psalm melody to my God

As long as I exist.

³Do not trust in nobles,

Nor in a son of man,

Who does not have salvation.

⁴His spirit goes out;

He returns to the ground.

On that day, his purposes cease to exist.

⁵Happy is he whose help is the God of Jacob,

Whose expectation is in the Lord his God,

⁶The maker of heaven and earth,

And the sea, and everything in them,

Who keeps truth age-abidingly,

⁷Who executes judgment for those who are oppressed,

Who gives bread to the hungry

– The Lord who releases captives,

⁸The Lord who opens the eyes of the blind,

The Lord who straightens up those bent double,

The Lord who loves the righteous.

⁹The Lord keeps foreigners safe;

He supports the orphan and the widow,

But he overturns the way of the wicked.

Your God, O Zion, is from generation to generation.

Praise the Lord.
