1Praise ye the LORD . Praise the LORD , O my soul . 2While I live will I praise the LORD : I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.
Trust in God, Not Man
3Put not your trust in princes , nor in the son of man , in whom there is no help . 4His breath goeth forth , he returneth to his earth ; in that very day his thoughts perish .
The God Who Helps the Helpless
5Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help , whose hope is in the LORD his God : 6Which made heaven , and earth , the sea , and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever : 7Which executeth judgment for the oppressed : which giveth food to the hungry . The LORD looseth the prisoners : 8The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind : the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down : the LORD loveth the righteous : 9The LORD preserveth the strangers ; he relieveth the fatherless and widow : but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down .
The Lord Reigns Forever
10The LORD shall reign for ever , even thy God , O Zion , unto all generations . Praise ye the LORD .
