I Will Praise Yahweh Throughout My Life
Praise Yah!
aPraise Yahweh, O my soul!
2 I will praise Yahweh athroughout my life;
I will bsing praises to my God while I have my being.
3 aDo not trust in nobles,
In merely a son of bman, in whom there is cno salvation.
4 His aspirit departs, he breturns to the earth;
In that very day his cplans perish.
5 How ablessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob,
Whose bhope is in Yahweh his God,
6 Who amade heaven and earth,
The bsea and all that is in them;
Who ckeeps truth forever;
7 Who adoes justice for the oppressed;
Who bgives food to the hungry.
Yahweh csets the prisoners free.
8 Yahweh aopens the eyes of the blind;
Yahweh braises up those who are bowed down;
Yahweh cloves the righteous;
9 Yahweh akeeps the sojourners;
He bhelps up the orphan and the widow,
But He bends cthe way of the wicked.
10 Yahweh will areign forever,
Your God, O Zion, from generation to generation.
Praise Yah!
He Heals the Brokenhearted
Praise Yah!
For ait is good to sing praises to our God;
For it is pleasant and praise is bbecoming.
2 Yahweh abuilds up Jerusalem;
He bgathers the outcasts of Israel.
3 He is the One who heals the abrokenhearted
And who bbinds up their wounds,
4 Who acounts the number of the stars;
He bgives names to all of them.
5 aGreat is our Lord and abundant in power;
His bdiscernment is infinite.
6 Yahweh ahelps up the afflicted;
He brings down the wicked to the ground.
7 aSing to Yahweh with thanksgiving;
Sing praises to our God on the lyre.
8 He is the One who acovers the heavens with clouds,
The One who bprovides rain for the earth,
The One who cmakes grass to sprout on the mountains,
9 Who agives to the animal its food,
And to the byoung ravens which call out.
10 He does not delight in the might of the ahorse;
He bdoes not take pleasure in the legs of a man.
11 Yahweh ais pleased with those who fear Him,
bThose who wait for His lovingkindness.
12 Laud Yahweh, O Jerusalem!
Praise your God, O Zion!
13 For He strengthened the abars of your gates;
He bblessed your sons within you.
14 He is the One who asets peace in your borders,
He bsatisfies you with cthe finest of the wheat,
15 The One who sends forth His acommand to the earth;
His bword runs very swiftly,
16 The One who gives asnow like wool;
He scatters the bfrost like ashes,
17 Who casts forth His aice as fragments;
Who can stand before His bcold?
18 He asends forth His word and melts them;
He bcauses His wind to blow and so the waters flow,
19 Who adeclares His words to Jacob,
His bstatutes and His judgments to Israel.
20 He ahas not done so with any nation;
So as for His judgments, they have bnot known them.
Praise Yah!
Praise Yahweh!
Praise Yah!
Praise Yahweh afrom the heavens;
Praise Him bin the heights!
2 Praise Him, aall His angels;
Praise Him, ball His hosts!
3 Praise Him, sun and moon;
Praise Him, all stars of light!
4 Praise Him, aheavens of heavens,
And the bwaters that are above the heavens!
5 Let them praise the name of Yahweh,
For aHe commanded and they were created.
6 He caused them to astand forever and ever;
He gave a bstatute and it will never pass away.
7 Praise Yahweh from the earth,
aSea monsters and all bdeeps;
8 aFire and hail, bsnow and cclouds;
dStormy wind, edoing His word;
9 aMountains and all hills;
Fruit btrees and all cedars;
10 aBeasts and all cattle;
bCreeping things and winged bird;
11 aKings of the earth and all peoples;
Princes and all judges of the earth;
12 Both choice men as well as virgins;
The old with the young.
13 Let them praise the name of Yahweh,
For His aname alone is set on high;
His bsplendor is above earth and heaven.
14 And He has araised up a horn for His people,
bPraise for all His holy ones;
For the sons of Israel, a people cnear to Him.
Praise Yah!
