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