^1 (a)Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord, O my soul!
² I will praise the Lord ^(b)as long as I live;
    ^(c)I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.

^3 (d)Put not your trust in princes,
    ^(e)in a son of man, in whom there is ^(f)no salvation.
⁴ When ^(g)his breath departs, he returns to the earth;
    on that very day his plans perish.

^5 (h)Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob,
    whose ⁽ⁱ⁾hope is in the Lord his God,
^6 (j)who made heaven and earth,
    the sea, and all that is in them,
^(k)who keeps faith forever;
^{7     (l)}who executes justice for the oppressed,
    ^(m)who gives food to the hungry.

⁽ⁿ⁾The Lord sets the prisoners free;
^{8     (o)}the Lord opens the eyes of the blind.
^(p)The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down;
    ^(q)the Lord loves the righteous.
^9 (r)The Lord watches over the sojourners;
    ^(s)he upholds the widow and the fatherless,
    but ^(t)the way of the wicked he brings to ruin.

^10 (u)The Lord will reign forever,
    your God, O Zion, to all generations.
^(v)Praise the Lord!
