1
Praise Yah! Praise Jehovah, my soul.
2
While I live, I will praise Jehovah. I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.
3
Do not put your trust in princes, each a son of man in whom there is no help.
4
His spirit departs, and he returns to the earth. In that very day, his thoughts perish.
5
Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Jehovah, his God:
6
who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them; who keeps truth forever;
7
who executes justice for the oppressed; who gives food to the hungry. Jehovah frees the prisoners.
8
Jehovah opens the eyes of the blind. Jehovah raises up those who are bowed down. Jehovah loves the righteous.
9
Jehovah preserves the foreigners. He upholds the fatherless and widow, but the way of the wicked he turns upside down.
10
Jehovah will reign forever; your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise Yah!
