The LORD an Abundant Helper.
1Praise the L
ORD!
Praise the L
ORD, O my soul!
2I will praise the L
ORD while I live;
I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.
3Do not trust in princes,
In mortal man, in whom there is no salvation.
4His spirit departs, he returns to the earth;
In that very day his thoughts perish.
5How blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob,
Whose hope is in the L
ORD his God,
6Who made heaven and earth,
The sea and all that is in them;
Who keeps faith forever;
7Who executes justice for the oppressed;
Who gives food to the hungry.
The L
ORD sets the prisoners free.
8The L
ORD opens
the eyes of the blind;
The L
ORD raises up those who are bowed down;
The L
ORD loves the righteous;
9The L
ORD protects the strangers;
He supports the fatherless and the widow,
But He thwarts the way of the wicked.
10The L
ORD will reign forever,
Your God, O Zion, to all generations.
Praise the L
ORD!
