¹ Halleluyah! Praise Adonai, O my soul!
² I will praise Adonai all my life.
I will praise my God yet again.
³ Do not put your trust in princes—
in man, in whom there is no salvation.
⁴ His breath departs,
he returns to his dust.
In that very day his plans perish.
⁵ Happy is he whose help is the God of Jacob,
whose hope is in Adonai his God,
⁶ who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them,
who keeps truth forever,
⁷ who executes justice for the oppressed,
who gives bread to the hungry.
Adonai sets the prisoners free.
⁸ Adonai opens the eyes of the blind.^[a]
Adonai raises up those who are bowed down.
Adonai loves the righteous.
⁹ Adonai protects outsiders,
upholds the fatherless and the widow,
but thwarts the way of the wicked.
¹⁰ Adonai will reign forever,
your God, O Zion, from generation to generation.
Halleluyah!
