Praise Yah! Praise Yahweh, my soul.
While I live, I will praise Yahweh. I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.
Don't put your trust in princesses, each a daughter of woman in whom there is no help.
Her spirit departs, and she returns to the earth. In that very day, her thoughts perish.
Happy is she who has the God of Jacoba for her help, whose hope is in Yahweh, her God:
who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them; who keeps truth forever;
who executes justice for the oppressed; who gives food to the hungry. Yahweh frees the prisoners.
Yahweh opens the eyes of the blind. Yahweh raises up those who are bowed down. Yahweh loves the righteous.
Yahweh preserves the foreigners. She upholds the fatherless and widower, but the way of the wicked she turns upside down.
Yahweh will reign forever; your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise Yah!
