^3 (D)Put not your trust in princes,
    ^(E)in a son of man, in whom there is ^(F)no salvation.
⁴ When ^(G)his breath departs, he returns to the earth;
    on that very day his plans perish.

^5 (H)Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob,
    whose ^(I)hope is in the Lord his God,
^6 (J)who made heaven and earth,
    the sea, and all that is in them,
^(K)who keeps faith forever;
^{7     (L)}who executes justice for the oppressed,
    ^(M)who gives food to the hungry.

^(N)The Lord sets the prisoners free;
^{8     (O)}the Lord opens the eyes of the blind.
^(P)The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down;
    ^(Q)the Lord loves the righteous.
^9 (R)The Lord watches over the sojourners;
    ^(S)he upholds the widow and the fatherless,
    but ^(T)the way of the wicked he brings to ruin.

^10 (U)The Lord will reign forever,
    your God, O Zion, to all generations.
^(V)Praise the Lord!
