I will praise the Lord for as long as I live
1Praise the Lord.
Everything in me praises the Lord.
2I will praise the Lord for as long as I live.
I want to sing to my God for as long as I am here.
3Don't trust princes or important people,
because they can not save you.
4When people die, they are
buried and go back to the ground,
and all their plans disappear.
5People who trust
in the God_of_Jacob are happy,
if they believe that the Lord
is their God who will help them.
6The Lord made heaven and earth,
the sea and everything in it.
The Lord always does what He has promised.
7He does what is right to people
who are oppressed and
He gives food to hungry people.
He sets prisoners free.
8The Lord makes blind people see.
He lifts up people who have fallen down,
and He loves people who are righteous.
9The Lord protects strangers,
and He helps widows and orphans,
but He destroys sinful people.
10The Lord will always be King.
Zion, your God will rule forever
for all generations.
You must praise the Lord.
