2 While I live will I praise Hashem: I will sing praise unto Elohai while I have any being.

3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the ben adam, in whom there is no teshuah (salvation).

4 His ruach departs, he returneth to his adamah; in yom hahu his plans come to nothing.

5 Ashrei is he that hath El Ya'akov for his ezer, whose hope is in Hashem Elohav:

6 Oseh Shomayim vaAretz, the yam, and all that therein is: HaShomer Emes l'olam (Who keepeth Truth forever):

7 Oseh mishpat for the oppressed; Who giveth lechem to the hungry. Hashem mattir asurim (sets free the prisoners):

8 Hashem openeth the eyes of the ivrim: Hashem raiseth them that are bowed down: Hashem loveth the tzaddikim:

9 Hashem shomer over the gerim; He relieveth the yatom (fatherless, orphan) and almanah; but the Derech Resha'im He frustrates.

10 Hashem shall reign l'olam, even thy G-d, O Tziyon, l'dor vador. Praise Hashem.
