Praise the LORD, O My Soul

146 Hallelujah 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
