Let my whole being praise Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah}.
2 I will praise Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah} all my life.
I will sing praises to my Yahavah {Yah'-ha-vah'} as long as I live.
3 Do not put your trust in princes
Nor in a son of man, who cannot bring salvation.
4 His spirit goes out, he returns to the ground;
On that very day his thoughts perish.
5 Happy is the one who has the Yahavah {Yah'-ha-vah'} of Yacob as his helper,
Whose hope is in Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah} his Yahavah {Yah'-ha-vah'},
6 The Maker of heaven and earth,
Of the sea, and of all that is in them,
The One who always remains faithful,
7 The One securing justice for those defrauded,
The One giving bread to the hungry.
Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah} is releasing the prisoners.
8 Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah} is opening the eyes of the blind;
Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah} is raising up those bowed down;
Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah} loves the righteous.
9 Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah} is protecting the foreign residents;
He sustains the fatherless child and the widow,
But he thwarts the plans of the wicked.
10 Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah} will be King forever,
Your Yahavah {Yah'-ha-vah'}, O Zion, for generation after generation.
