- 1Praise the LORD!
Praise the LORD, my soul.Hebrew: יה Yah LORD or GOD in all caps is from the Hebrew יהוה Yahweh except when otherwise noted as being from the short form יה Yah. - 2While I live, I will praise the LORD.
I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist. - 3Don’t put your trust in princes,
in 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 the LORD, 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.
The LORD frees the prisoners. - 8The LORD opens the eyes of the blind.
The LORD raises up those who are bowed down.
The LORD loves the righteous. - 9The LORD preserves the foreigners.
He upholds the fatherless and widow,
but he turns the way of the wicked upside down. - 10The LORD will reign forever;
your God, O Zion, to all generations.
Praise the LORD!Hebrew: יה Yah
