1 P raise the Lord! (Hallelujah!) Praise the Lord, O my soul!

Aleluya. ALABA, oh alma mía, á Jehová.

2 W hile I live will I praise the Lord; I will sing praises to my God while I have any being.

Alabaré á Jehová en mi vida: Cantaré salmos á mi Dios mientras viviere.

3 P ut not your trust in princes, in a son of man, in whom there is no help.

No confiéis en los príncipes, Ni en hijo de hombre, porque no hay en él salud.

4 W hen his breath leaves him, he returns to his earth; in that very day his thoughts, plans, and purposes perish.

Saldrá su espíritu, tornaráse en su tierra: En aquel día perecerán sus pensamientos.

5 H appy (blessed, fortunate, enviable) is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God,

Bienaventurado aquel en cuya ayuda es el Dios de Jacob, Cuya esperanza es en Jehová su Dios:

6 W ho made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, Who keeps truth and is faithful forever,

El cual hizo los cielos y la tierra, La mar, y todo lo que en ellos hay; Que guarda verdad para siempre;

7 W ho executes justice for the oppressed, Who gives food to the hungry. The Lord sets free the prisoners,

Que hace derecho á los agraviados; Que da pan á los hambrientos: Jehová suelta á los aprisionados;

8 T he Lord opens the eyes of the blind, the Lord lifts up those who are bowed down, the Lord loves the righteous (those upright in heart and in right standing with Him).

Jehová abre los ojos á los ciegos; Jehová levanta á los caídos; Jehová ama á los justos.

9 T he Lord protects and preserves the strangers and temporary residents, He upholds the fatherless and the widow and sets them upright, but the way of the wicked He makes crooked (turns upside down and brings to ruin).

Jehová guarda á los extranjeros; Al huérfano y á la viuda levanta; Y el camino de los impíos trastorna.

10 T he Lord shall reign forever, even Your God, O Zion, from generation to generation. Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!)

Reinará Jehová para siempre; Tu Dios, oh Sión, por generación y generación. Aleluya.
