1 Hallelujah! My soul, praise the LORD!
2 I will praise the LORD all my life; I will make music to my God as long as I exist.
3 Do not trust in nobles, in a human being, who has no power to save.
4 His breath goes out, he goes back to his ground; on that day his plans come to nothing.
5 How blessed is the one whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope rests on the LORD his God,
6 the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea and everything in them, who keeps faith forever,
7 who brings justice for the oppressed and gives bread to the hungry. The LORD releases the prisoners;
8 the LORD gives sight to the blind; the LORD lifts up those bent low; the LORD loves the righteous;
9 the LORD guards the strangers; he sustains the orphan and the widow, but he makes the way of the wicked crooked.
10 The LORD will be King forever, your God, Zion, from generation to generation. Hallelujah!
