Psalms 146:1-5

Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord, my soul!

I will praise the Lord while I live; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.

Do not trust in noblemen, In mortal man, in whom there is no salvation.

His spirit departs, he returns to the earth; On that very day his plans perish.

Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, Whose hope is in the Lord his God,
