1. Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord, O my soul!
2. I will praise the Lord while I live; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.
3. Do not trust in princes, In mortal man, in whom there is no salvation.
4. His spirit departs, he returns to the earth; In that very day his thoughts perish.
5. How blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, Whose hope is in the Lord his God,
