1 Praise the LORD!

2 While I live, I will praise the LORD.

3 Don’t put your trust in princes,

4 His spirit departs, and he returns to the earth.

5 Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help,

6 who made heaven and earth,

7 who executes justice for the oppressed;

8 The LORD opens the eyes of the blind.

9 The LORD preserves the foreigners.

10 The LORD will reign forever;
