Praise Yahweh, my soul!
² I want to praise Yahweh throughout my life.
    I want to make music to praise my Elohim as long as I live.

³ Do not trust influential people,
    mortals who cannot help you.
⁴         When they breathe their last breath, they return to the ground.
            On that day their plans come to an end.
⁵ Blessed are those who receive help from the El of Jacob.
    Their hope rests on Yahweh their Elohim,
⁶         who made heaven, earth,
            the sea, and everything in them.
    Yahweh remains faithful forever.
⁷ He brings about justice for those who are oppressed.
    He gives food to those who are hungry.
    Yahweh sets prisoners free.
⁸ Yahweh gives sight to blind people.
    Yahweh straightens the backs of those who are bent over.
    Yahweh loves righteous people.
⁹ Yahweh protects foreigners.
    Yahweh gives relief to orphans and widows.
    But he keeps wicked people from reaching their goal.
¹⁰ Yahweh rules as king forever.
    Zion, your Elohim rules throughout every generation.

Hallelujah!
