1
Praise Yah!
Praise YHVH, my soul.
2
While I live, I will praise YHVH.
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 YHVH, 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.
YHVH frees the prisoners.
8
YHVH opens the eyes of the blind.
YHVH raises up those who are bowed down.
YHVH loves the righteous.
9
YHVH preserves the foreigners.
He upholds the fatherless and widow,
but he turns the way of the wicked upside down.
10
YHVH will reign forever;
your God, O Zion, to all generations.
Praise Yah!
