Praise the Lord, my soul
1
Hallelujah! (a) Praise the LORD, O my soul.
2
I will praise the LORD all my life; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.
3
Put not your trust in princes, in mortal man, who cannot save.
4
When his spirit departs, he returns to the ground; on that very day his plans perish.
5
Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD his God,
6
the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them. He remains faithful forever.
7
He executes justice for the oppressed and gives food to the hungry. The LORD sets the prisoners free,
8
the LORD opens the eyes of the blind, the LORD lifts those who are weighed down, the LORD loves the righteous.
9
The LORD protects foreigners; He sustains the fatherless and the widow, but the ways of the wicked He frustrates.
10
The LORD reigns forever, your God, O Zion, for all generations. Hallelujah!
