How To Be Happy

1 Praise the LORD! (A) Praise the LORD, O my soul!

2 I will praise the LORD (B) while I live; I will (C) sing praises to my God while I have my being.

3 (D) Do not trust in princes, in mortal (E) man, in whom there is (F) no salvation.

4 His (G) spirit departs, he (H) returns to Earth; in that very day his (I) thoughts perish.

5 How (J) blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose (K) hope is in the LORD his God, 6 Who (L) made heaven and Earth, the (M) sea and all that is in them; Who (N) keeps faith forever; 7 Who (O) executes justice for the oppressed; Who (P) gives food to the hungry; the LORD (Q) sets the prisoners free.

8 The LORD (R) opens the eyes of the blind; the LORD (S) raises up those who are bowed down; the LORD (T) loves the righteous; 9 The LORD (U) protects the strangers; He (V) supports the fatherless and the widow, but He thwarts (W) the way of the wicked.

10 The LORD will (X) reign forever, Your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise the LORD!

-Psalm 146
