1 Halleluyah!
PraiseAdonai, my soul!
2 I will praiseAdonaias long as I live.
I will sing praise to my God all my life.
3 Don’t put your trust in princes
or in mortals, who cannot help.
4 When they breathe their last, they return to dust;
on that very day all their plans are gone.
5 Happy is he whose help is Ya‘akov’s God,
whose hope is inAdonaihis God.
6 He made heaven and earth,
the sea and everything in them;
he keeps faith forever.
7 He secures justice for the oppressed,
he gives food to the hungry.
Adonaisets prisoners free,
8 Adonaiopens the eyes of the blind,
Adonailifts up those who are bent over.
Adonailoves the righteous.
9 Adonaiwatches over strangers,
he sustains the fatherless and widows;
but the way of the wicked he twists.
10 Adonaiwill reign forever,
your God, Tziyon, through all generations.
Halleluyah!
