| 1 | הַלְלוּ־יָהּ הַלְלִי נַפְשִׁי אֶת־יְהוָה | Ha-le-lu-yáh. Hal-le-lí naf-shí et Ado-nái. | Hallelujah! Praise the LORD, O my soul! |
| 2 | אֲהַלְלָה יְהוָה בְּחַיָּי אֲזַמְּרָה לֵאלֹהַי בְּעוֹדִי | A-ha-le-láh Ado-nái be-kha-y-y-ái; a-zam-me-ráh le-E-lo-h-ái be-o-dí. | I will praise the LORD as long as I live; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being. |
| 3 | אַל־תִּבְטְחוּ בִנְדִיבִים בְּבֶן־אָדָם שֶׁאֵין לוֹ תְשׁוּעָה | Al tiv-te-khú bin-di-vím; be-vén a-dám she-ein lo te-shu-aáh. | Put not your trust in princes, in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation. |
| 4 | תֵּצֵא רוּחוֹ יָשֻׁב לְאַדְמָתוֹ בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא אָבְדוּ עֶשְׁתֹּנֹתָיו | Te-tzé ru-khó ya-shúv le-ad-ma-tó; ba-yom ha-hú av-dú esh-to-no-táv. | When his breath departs, he returns to the earth; on that very day his plans perish. |
| 5 | אַשְׁרֵי שֶׁאֵל יַעֲקֹב בְּעֶזְרוֹ שִׂבְרוֹ עַל־יְהוָה אֱלֹהָיו | Ash-réi she-E-l Ya-a-kóv be-ez-ró; si-vró al Ado-nái E-lo-háv. | Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD his God. |
| 6 | עֹשֶׂה שָׁמַיִם וָאָרֶץ אֶת־הַיָּם וְאֶת־כָּל־אֲשֶׁר־בָּם הַשֹּׁמֵר אֱמֶת לְעוֹלָם | O-séh sha-má-yim va-a-rétz; et ha-yám ve-et kál a-shér bám; ha-sho-mér e-mét le-o-lám. | Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, who keeps faith forever. |
| 7 | עֹשֶׂה מִשְׁפָּט לָעֲשׁוּקִים נֹתֵן לֶחֶם לָרְעֵבִים יְהוָה מַתִּיר אֲסוּרִים | O-séh mish-pát la-a-shu-kím; no-tén lé-khem la-re-e-vím; Ado-nái ma-tír a-su-rím. | Who executes justice for the oppressed, who gives food to the hungry. The LORD sets the prisoners free. |
| 8 | יְהוָה פֹּקֵחַ עִוְרִים יְהוָה זֹקֵף כְּפוּפִים יְהוָה אֹהֵב צַדִּיקִים | Ado-nái po-ké-akh iv-rím; Ado-nái zo-kéf ke-fu-fím; Ado-nái o-hév tzad-dí-kim. | The LORD opens the eyes of the blind. The LORD lifts up those who are bowed down; the LORD loves the righteous. |
| 9 | יְהוָה שֹׁמֵר אֶת־גֵּרִים יָתוֹם וְאַלְמָנָה יְעוֹדֵד וְדֶרֶךְ רְשָׁעִים יְעַוֵּת | Ado-nái sho-mér et ge-rím; ya-tóm ve-al-ma-náh ye-o-déd; ve-dé-rekh re-sha-ím ye-av-vét. | The LORD watches over the sojourners; He upholds the widow and the fatherless, but the way of the wicked He brings to ruin. |
| 10 | יִמְלֹךְ יְהוָה לְעוֹלָם אֱלֹהַיִךְ צִיּוֹן לְדֹר וָדֹר הַלְלוּ־יָהּ | Yim-lókh Ado-nái le-o-lám; E-lo-ha-yíkhi Tzi-yón le-dor va-dór; ha-le-lu-yáh. | The LORD will reign forever, your God, O Zion, to all generations. Hallelujah! |
