1 Shout praises to the Lord! With all that I am, I will shout his praises.
2 I will sing and praise the Lord God as long as I live.
3 You can't depend on anyone, not even a great leader.
4 Once they die and are buried, that will be the end of all their plans.
5 The Lord God of Jacob blesses everyone who trusts him and depends on him.
6 God made heaven and earth; he created the sea and everything else. God always keeps his word.
7 He gives justice to the poor and food to the hungry. The Lord sets prisoners free
8 and heals blind eyes. He gives a helping hand to everyone who falls. The Lord loves good people
9 and looks after strangers. He defends the rights of orphans and widows, but destroys the wicked.
10 The Lord God of Zion will rule forever! Shout praises to the Lord!
