1. Halelu-JAH. Praise the Lord, O my soul.
2. In my life I will praise the Lord; I will sing praises unto my God while I live.
3. Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man in whom there is no salvation.
4. His spirit shall go forth, he shall return to his earth; in that very day all his thoughts shall perish.
5. Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God;
6. who made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is therein; who keeps truth for ever:
7. He who does justice unto the oppressed; who gives bread to the hungry. The Lord looses the prisoners:
8. The Lord opens the eyes of the blind; the Lord raises those that are bowed down; the Lord loves the righteous:
9. The Lord preserves the strangers; he raises up the fatherless and widow; but the way of the wicked he turns upside down.
10. The Lord shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, from generation to generation. Halelu-JAH.
