Praise the LORD.
Praise the LORD, O 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 Maker of heaven and earth,

the sea, and everything in them—

the LORD, who remains faithful forever.

~ Psalm 146:1-6
