1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul.

1 הַֽלְלוּ־יָ֡הּ הַלְלִ֥י נַ֝פְשִׁ֗י אֶת־יְהוָֽה׃

2 While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.

2 אֲהַלְלָ֣ה יְהוָ֣ה בְּחַיָּ֑י אֲזַמְּרָ֖ה לֵֽאלֹהַ֣י בְּעֹודִֽי׃

3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

3 אַל־תִּבְטְח֥וּ בִנְדִיבִ֑ים בְּבֶן־אָדָ֓ם׀ שֶׁ֤אֵֽין לֹ֥ו תְשׁוּעָֽה׃

4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.

4 תֵּצֵ֣א ר֭וּחֹו יָשֻׁ֣ב לְאַדְמָתֹ֑ו בַּיֹּ֥ום הַ֝ה֗וּא אָבְד֥וּ עֶשְׁתֹּנֹתָֽיו׃

5 Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God:

5 אַשְׁרֵ֗י שֶׁ֤אֵ֣ל יַעֲקֹ֣ב בְּעֶזְרֹ֑ו בְרֹ֗ו עַל־יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהָֽיו׃

6 Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever:

6 עֹשֶׂ֤ה׀ שָׁ֘מַ֤יִם וָאָ֗רֶץ אֶת־הַיָּ֥ם וְאֶת־כָּל־אֲשֶׁר־בָּ֑ם הַשֹּׁמֵ֖ר אֱמֶ֣ת לְעֹולָֽם׃

7 Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners:

7 עֹשֶׂ֤ה מִשְׁפָּ֨ט׀ לָעֲשׁוּקִ֗ים נֹתֵ֣ן לֶ֭חֶם לָרְעֵבִ֑ים יְ֝הוָ֗ה מַתִּ֥יר אֲסוּרִֽים׃

8 The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous:

8 יְהוָ֤ה׀ פֹּ֘קֵ֤חַ עִוְרִ֗ים יְ֭הוָה זֹקֵ֣ף כְּפוּפִ֑ים יְ֝הוָ֗ה אֹהֵ֥ב צַדִּיקִֽים׃

9 The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.

9 יְהוָ֤ה׀ שֹׁ֘מֵ֤ר אֶת־גֵּרִ֗ים יָתֹ֣ום וְאַלְמָנָ֣ה יְעֹודֵ֑ד וְדֶ֖רֶךְ רְשָׁעִ֣ים יְעַוֵּֽת׃

10 The LORD shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD.

10 יִמְלֹ֤ךְ יְהוָ֨ה׀ לְעֹולָ֗ם אֱלֹהַ֣יִךְ צִ֭יֹּון לְדֹ֥ר וָדֹ֗ר הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃
