¹Halleluyah !

Praise Adonai , my soul!

²I will praise Adonai as long as I live.

I will sing praise to my God all my life.

³Don’t put your trust in princes

or in mortals, who cannot help.

⁴When they breathe their last, they return to dust;

on that very day all their plans are gone.

⁵Happy is he whose help is Ya‘akov’s God,

whose hope is in Adonai his God.

⁶He made heaven and earth,

the sea and everything in them;

he keeps faith forever.

⁷He secures justice for the oppressed,

he gives food to the hungry.

Adonai sets prisoners free,

⁸Adonai opens the eyes of the blind,

Adonai lifts up those who are bent over.

Adonai loves the righteous.

⁹Adonai watches over strangers,

he sustains the fatherless and widows;

but the way of the wicked he twists.

¹⁰Adonai will reign forever,

your God, Tziyon, through all generations.

Halleluyah !
