Praise the lord
Praise the lord oh my soul
I will praise the lord all my life
I will sing praise to my God as long as I live
Do not put your trust in princes, in mortal men who cannot save
When their spirit departs they return to the ground
On that very day their plans come to nothing
Blessed is he whose help is the God of jacob
Whose hope is in the lord his God

The lord reigns forever
Your God, o zion, for all generations
Praise the lord
The maker of heaven and earth
The sea, and everything in them
The lord, who remains faithful forever
He upholds the cause of the oppressed
And gives food to the hungry

The lord sets prisoners free
The lord gives sight to the blind
The lord lifts up those who are bowed down
Praise his name
The lord loves the righteous
The lord watches over the alien
And sustains the fatherless and the widow
He frustrates the ways of the wicked
