2I will praise the LORD as long as I live, singing praises to my God while I exist.

3Don’t put your confidence in powerful people; there is no help for you there.

3Do not look to nobles, nor to mere human beings who cannot save.

4When they breathe their last, they return to the earth, and all their plans die with them.

4When they stop breathing, they return to the ground; on that very day their plans evaporate!

5But joyful are those who have the God of Israel as their helper, whose hope is in the LORD their God.

5Happy is the one whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD his God,

6He made heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them. He keeps every promise forever.

6maker of heaven and earth, the seas and everything in them, forever the guardian of truth,

7He gives justice to the oppressed and food to the hungry. The LORD frees the prisoners.

7who brings justice for the oppressed, and who gives food to the hungry. The LORD frees the prisoners;

8The LORD opens the eyes of the blind. The LORD lifts up those who are weighed down. The LORD loves the godly.

8the LORD gives sight to the blind. The LORD lifts up those who are weighed down. The LORD loves the righteous.

9The LORD protects the foreigners among us. He cares for the orphans and widows, but he frustrates the plans of the wicked.

9The LORD stands guard over the stranger; he supports both widows and orphans, but makes the path of the wicked slippery.

10The LORD will reign forever. He will be your God, O Jerusalem, throughout the generations. Praise the LORD!

10The LORD will reign forever, your God, Zion, for all generations! Hallelujah!
