Praise the Lord, my soul
1
Praise YAH! Praise, O my soul, YHWH.
2
I praise YHWH during my life, || I sing praise to my God while I exist.
3
Do not trust in princes—in a son of man, || For he has no deliverance.
4
His spirit goes forth, he returns to his earth, || In that day his thoughts have perished.
5
O the blessedness of him || Who has the God of Jacob for his help, || His hope [is] on his God YHWH,
6
Making the heavens and earth, || The sea and all that [is] in them, || Who is keeping truth for all time,
7
Doing judgment for the oppressed, || Giving bread to the hungry.
8
YHWH is loosing the prisoners, || YHWH is opening (the eyes of) the blind, || YHWH is raising the bowed down, || YHWH is loving the righteous,
9
YHWH is preserving the strangers, || He causes the fatherless and widow to stand, || And He turns the way of the wicked upside down.
10
YHWH reigns for all time, || Your God, O Zion, to generation and generation, || Praise YAH!
