Praise Yahweh! With my whole inner being I will praise Yahweh.

I will praise Yahweh as long as I am alive; I will sing to praise my God for [the rest of] my life.

٣ 3 لَا تَتَوَكَّلُوا عَلَى الرُّؤَسَاءِ، وَلَا عَلَى ابْنِ آدَمَ الَّذِي لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يُخَلِّصَكُمْ.

[You people], do not trust in your leaders; do not trust humans because they cannot save/rescue you [from your difficulties/problems].

٤ 4 تَنْطَلِقُ رُوحُهُ مِنْهُ فَيَعُودُ إِلَى تُرَابِهِ، وَآنَئِذٍ تَنْدَثِرُ تَدَابِيرُهُ.

He is the one who created heaven and the earth and the oceans and all [the creatures] that are in them. He always does what he has promised to do.

٧ 7 مُنْصِفِ الْمَظْلُومِينَ وَرَازِقِ الْجِيَاعِ طَعَاماً. يُحَرِّرُ الرَّبُّ الْمَأْسُورِينَ.

He decides matters fairly for those who are (treated unfairly/oppressed), and he provides food for those who are hungry. He frees those who are in prison.

٨ 8 الرَّبُّ يَفْتَحُ أَعْيُنَ الْعُمْيِ. الرَّبُّ يُنْهِضُ الْمُنْحَنِينَ. الرَّبُّ يُحِبُّ الصِّدِّيقِينَ.

Yahweh enables those who are blind to see again. He lifts up those who have fallen down. He loves righteous [people].

٩ 9 الرَّبُّ يَحْفَظُ الْغُرَبَاءَ، يَعْضُدُ الْيَتَامَى وَالأَرَامِلَ، وَلَكِنَّهُ يُحْبِطُ مَسَاعِيَ الأَشْرَارِ.

Yahweh takes care of those from other countries who live in our land, and he helps widows and orphans. But he gets rid of wicked [people].

١٠ 10 الرَّبُّ يَمْلِكُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. يَمْلِكُ إِلَهُكِ يَا صِهْيَوْنُ مِنْ جِيلٍ إِلَى جِيلٍ. هَلِّلُويَا.

Yahweh will [continue to] be our king forever; you people of Israel, your God will rule forever! Praise Yahweh!
