1 Aleluia. Louva, ó minha alma, o Senhor!

2 Louvarei o Senhor por toda a vida. Salmodiarei o meu Deus enquanto existir.

3 Não coloqueis nos poderosos a vossa confiança, são apenas homens nos quais não há salvação.

4 Quando se lhe for o espírito, ele voltará ao pó, e todos os seus projetos se desvanecerão de uma só vez.

5 Feliz aquele que tem por protetor o Deus de Jacó, que põe sua esperança no Senhor, seu Deus.

6 É esse o Deus que fez o céu e a terra, o mar e tudo o que eles contêm; que é eternamente fiel à sua palavra,

7 que faz justiça aos oprimidos, e dá pão aos que têm fome. O Senhor livra os cativos;

8 o Senhor abre os olhos aos cegos; o Senhor ergue os abatidos; o Senhor ama os justos.

9 O Senhor protege os peregrinos, ampara o órfão e a viúva; mas entrava os desígnios dos pecadores.

10 O Senhor reinará eternamente; ó Sião, teu Deus é rei por toda a eternidade.
