In Praise of God the Savior
1 Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord, my soul!
2 I will praise him as long as I live;
I will sing to my God all my life.
3 Don't put your trust in human leaders;
no human being can save you.
4 When they die, they return to the dust;
on that day all their plans come to an end.
5 Happy are those who have the God of Jacob to help them
and who depend on the Lord their God,
6 the Creator of heaven, earth, and sea,
and all that is in them.
He always keeps his promises;
7 he judges in favor of the oppressed
and gives food to the hungry.
The Lord sets prisoners free
8 and gives sight to the blind.
He lifts those who have fallen;
he loves his righteous people.
9 He protects the strangers who live in our land;
he helps widows and orphans,
but takes the wicked to their ruin.
10 The Lord is king forever.
Your God, O Zion, will reign for all time.
Praise the Lord!
Svētīgs, kas paļaujas uz To Kungu
1 Alelujā! Teici To Kungu, mana dvēsele! 2 Es slavēšu To Kungu, kamēr dzīvošu, es dziedāšu savam Dievam, kamēr vēl še būšu! 3 Nepaļaujieties uz dižciltīgajiem, uz cilvēku bērniem, kas taču nevar palīdzēt! 4 Kad gars iziet no miesas, tad viņi atgriežas pīšļos, un tai pašā brīdī viņu nodomi aiziet bojā. 5 Svētīgs tas, kura palīgs ir Jēkaba Dievs un kura cerība balstās uz To Kungu, viņa Dievu, 6 kas radījis debesis un zemi, jūru un visu, kas tanī iekšā, kas paliek mūžīgi uzticīgs, 7 Viņš nes tiesu tiem, kas varas darbus cieš, un dod maizi izsalkušiem. Tas Kungs atsvabina cietumniekus. 8 Tas Kungs atdara acis aklajiem; Tas Kungs uzceļ nospiestos; Tas Kungs mīl taisnos. 9 Tas Kungs pasargā svešiniekus un bāreņus un uztur atraitnes, bet bezdievīgo gaitām Viņš neļauj izdoties. 10 Tas Kungs būs mūžīgi ķēniņš, Tavs Dievs, Ciāna, uz radu radiem! Alelujā!
