1. Halleluyah! Praise Adonai, O my soul!
2. I will praise Adonai all my life. I will praise my God yet again.
3. Do not put your trust in princes— in man, in whom there is no salvation.
4. His breath departs, he returns to his dust. In that very day his plans perish.
5. Happy is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in Adonai his God,
6. who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, who keeps truth forever,
7. who executes justice for the oppressed, who gives bread to the hungry. Adonai sets the prisoners free.
