1 Praise Yah!

Praise Yahweh, my soul.

2 While I live, I will praise Yahweh.

I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.

3 Don’t put your trust in princes,

in 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 Yahweh, 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.

Yahweh frees the prisoners.

8 Yahweh opens the eyes of the blind.

Yahweh raises up those who are bowed down.

Yahweh loves the righteous.

9 Yahweh preserves the foreigners.

He upholds the fatherless and widow,

but he turns the way of the wicked upside down.

10 Yahweh will reign forever;

your God, O Zion, to all generations.

Praise Yah!

1 Halelu-JAH. Praise the LORD, O my soul.

2 In my life I will praise the LORD; I will sing praises unto my God while I live.

3 Put not your trust in princes, [nor] in son of man in whom [there is] no salvation.

4 His spirit shall go forth, he shall return to his earth; in that very day all his thoughts shall perish.

5 Happy [is he] who [has] the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope [is] in the LORD his God;

6 who made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that [is] therein; who keeps truth for ever:

7 He who does justice unto the oppressed; who gives bread to the hungry. The LORD looses the prisoners:

8 The LORD opens [the eyes of] the blind; the LORD raises those that are bowed down; the LORD loves the righteous:

9 The LORD preserves the strangers; he raises up the fatherless and widow; but the way of the wicked he turns upside down.

10 The LORD shall reign for ever, [even] thy God, O Zion, from generation to generation. Halelu-JAH.:
