1My soul, praise the Lord.
2I will praise the Lord, while I live; I will sing to my God, while I am.
3Put not your trust in princes mortals, in whom is no help.
4When their breath goes out, they go back to the dust: on that very day their purposes perish.
5Happy those whose help is the God of Jacob: whose hope is set on the Lord their God,
6the Creator of heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them. He remains eternally loyal.
Psalms 146
Psalms 146:1-6
