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!
