Hallelujah, Praise Jehovah (Psalter)

Hallelujah

praise Je­ho­vah

O my soul

Je­ho­vah praise;

I will sing the glo­ri­ous prais­es

Of my God through all my days.

Put no con­fi­dence in princ­es

Nor for help on man de­pend;

He shall die

to dust re­turn­ing

And his pur­pos­es shall end.

Happy is the man that choos­es

Israel’s God to be his aid;

He is blest whose hope of bless­ing

On the Lord his God is stayed.

Heaven and earth the Lord cre­at­ed

Seas and all that they con­tain;

He de­li­vers from op­press­ion

Righteousness He will main­tain.

Food He dai­ly gives the hun­gry

Sets the mourn­ing pri­son­er free

Raises those bowed down with ang­uish

Makes the sight­less eyes to see.

Well Je­ho­vah loves the right­eous

And the strang­er He be­friends

Helps the fa­ther­less and wi­dow

Judgment on the wick­ed sends.

Hallelujah

praise Je­ho­vah

O my soul

Je­ho­vah praise;

I will sing the glo­ri­ous prais­es

Of my God through all my days.

Over all God reigns for­ev­er

Through all ag­es He is King;

Unto Him

thy God

O Zi­on

Joyful hal­le­lu­jahs sing.
