About this chapterThe first of five closing psalms of praise, each beginning and ending with Hallelujah. The writer vows to praise the Lord as long as he lives and warns against putting trust in princes or in mortals who cannot save, since their breath departs and their plans perish. Blessed is the one whose help is the God of Jacob, maker of heaven, earth, and sea, who keeps faith forever. He executes justice for the oppressed, gives food to the hungry, frees prisoners, opens the eyes of the blind, lifts those bowed down, loves the righteous, protects foreigners, and upholds the fatherless and widow, and the Lord reigns forever.

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!
