^1 [a]Praise ^[b]the Lord!
^(a)Praise the Lord, O my soul!
² I will praise the Lord ^(b)while I live;
I will ^(c)sing praises to my God while I have my being.
^3 (d)Do not trust in princes,
In ^[c]mortal ^(e)man, in whom there is ^(f)no salvation.
⁴ His ^(g)spirit departs, he ^(h)returns to ^[d]the earth;
In that very day his ⁽ⁱ⁾thoughts perish.
⁵ How ^(j)blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob,
Whose ^(k)hope is in the Lord his God,
⁶ Who ^(l)made heaven and earth,
The ^(m)sea and all that is in them;
Who ⁽ⁿ⁾keeps ^[e]faith forever;
⁷ Who ^(o)executes justice for the oppressed;
Who ^(p)gives food to the hungry.
The Lord ^(q)sets the prisoners free.

⁸ The Lord ^(r)opens the eyes of the blind;
The Lord ^(s)raises up those who are bowed down;
The Lord ^(t)loves the righteous;
⁹ The Lord ^[f](u)protects the ^[g]strangers;
He ^[h](v)supports the fatherless and the widow,
But He ^[i]thwarts ^(w)the way of the wicked.
¹⁰ The Lord will ^(x)reign forever,
Your God, O Zion, to all generations.
^[j]Praise ^[k]the Lord!
