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