146
1 Halleluyah ·praise Yah·!
Praise Adonai, my soul.
2 While I live, I will praise Adonai.
I will sing zahmar ·musical praise· to my God as long as I exist.
3 Don’t put your trust in princes,
each a son of man in whom there is no help.
4 His spirit departs, and he teshuvah ·completely returns· to the earth.
In that very day, his thoughts perish.
5 Happy is he who has the God of Jacob [Supplanter] for his help,
whose hope is in Adonai, his God:
6 who made heaven and earth,
the sea, and all that is in them; *. Quoted in Acts 4:24, 14:15; Rev 10:6
who keeps truth forever;
7 who executes mishpat ·justice· for the oppressed;
who gives food to the hungry.
Adonai frees the prisoners.
8 Adonai opens the eyes of the blind.
Adonai raises up those who are bowed down.
Adonai 'ahav ·affectionately loves· the upright.
9 Adonai preserves the foreigners.
He upholds the fatherless and widow,
but the way of the wicked he turns upside down.
10 Adonai will reign forever;
your God, O Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking], to all generations.
Halleluyah ·praise Yah·!
