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,
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 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 the way of the wicked he turns upside down. 10 Yahweh will reign forever;
your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise Yah!
