1Hallelujah!
Praise the Lord, my soul!
2I want to praise the Lord throughout my life.
I want to make music to praise my God as long as I live.
3Do not trust influential people,
mortals who cannot help you.
4When they breathe their last breath, they return to the ground.
On that day their plans come to an end.
5Blessed are those who receive help from the God of Jacob.
Their hope rests on the Lord their God,
6who made heaven, earth,
the sea, and everything in them.
The Lord remains faithful forever.
7He brings about justice for those who are oppressed.
He gives food to those who are hungry.
The Lord sets prisoners free.
8The Lord gives sight to blind people.
The Lord straightens ⸤the backs⸥ of those who are bent over.
The Lord loves righteous people.
9The Lord protects foreigners.
The Lord gives relief to orphans and widows.
But he keeps wicked people from reaching their goal.
10The Lord rules as king forever.
Zion, your God rules throughout every generation.
Hallelujah!
Psalm 147
1Hallelujah!
It is good to sing psalms to our God.
It is pleasant to sing ⸤his⸥ praise beautifully.
2The Lord is the builder of Jerusalem.
He is the one who gathers the outcasts of Israel together.
3He is the healer of the brokenhearted.
He is the one who bandages their wounds.
4He determines the number of stars.
He gives each one a name.
5Our Lord is great, and his power is great.
There is no limit to his understanding.
6The Lord gives relief to those who are oppressed.
He brings wicked people down to the ground.
7Sing to the Lord a song of thanksgiving.
Make music to our God with a lyre.
8He covers the sky with clouds.
He provides rain for the ground.
He makes grass grow on the mountains.
9He is the one who gives food to animals
and to young ravens when they call out.
10He finds no joy in strong horses,
nor is he pleased by brave soldiers.
11The Lord is pleased with those who fear him,
with those who wait with hope for his mercy.
