The first of the five Hallelujah psalms that close the book. It warns against trusting rulers who cannot save, and blesses those whose hope is in the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth, who feeds the hungry, sets prisoners free, lifts those weighed down and sustains the foreigner, the fatherless and the widow.
1Hallelujah! Praise the LORD, O my soul.
2I will praise the LORD all my life; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.
3Put not your trust in princes, in mortal man, who cannot save.
4When his spirit departs, he returns to the ground; on that very day his plans perish.
5Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD his God,
6the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them. He remains faithful forever.
7He executes justice for the oppressed and gives food to the hungry. The LORD sets the prisoners free,
8the LORD opens the eyes of the blind, the LORD lifts those who are weighed down, the LORD loves the righteous.
9The LORD protects foreigners; He sustains the fatherless and the widow, but the ways of the wicked He frustrates.
10The LORD reigns forever, your God, O Zion, for all generations. Hallelujah!
I will praise the LORD all my life; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.
