^(F1)Praise ^(F2)the LORD! ^(C1)Praise the LORD, my soul!

I will praise the LORD ^(C1)while I live; I will ^(C2)sing praises to my God while I ^(F1)have my being.

^(C1)Do not trust in noblemen, In ^(F1)mortal ^(C2)man, in whom there is ^(C3)no salvation.

His ^(C1)spirit departs, he ^(C2)returns to ^(F1)the earth; On that very day his ^(C3)plans perish.

^(C1)Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, Whose ^(C2)hope is in the LORD his God,

Who ^(C1)made heaven and earth, The ^(C2)sea and everything that is in them; Who ^(C3)keeps ^(F1)faith forever;

Who ^(C1)executes justice for the oppressed; Who ^(C2)gives food to the hungry. The LORD ^(C3)frees the prisoners.

The LORD ^(C1)opens the eyes of those who are blind; The LORD ^(C2)raises up those who are bowed down; The LORD ^(C3)loves the righteous.

The LORD ^(C1)watches over strangers; He ^(F1)(C2)supports the fatherless and the widow, But He ^(F2)thwarts ^(C3)the way of the wicked.

The LORD will ^(C1)reign forever, Your God, Zion, to all generations. ^(F1)Praise ^(F2)the LORD!
