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!
