1. 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.

2. Happy is the man that chooses
Jacob’s God to be his aid;
He is blest whose hope of blessing
On the LORD his God is stayed.
He has made the earth and heaven,
Seas, and all that they contain;
He will keep His truth forever,
Rights of those oppressed maintain

3. Food Jehovah gives the hungry.
Sight Jehovah gives the blind,
Freedom gives He to the pris’ner,
Cheer to those bowed down in mind.
Well Jehovah loves the righteous
To the stranger is a stay,
Helps the fatherless and widow,
But subverts the sinner’s way.

4. Hallelujah, praise Jehovah,
O my soul, Jehovah praise
I will sing the glorious praises
Of my God through all my days.
Yea, Jehovah reigns forever;
Through all ages He is King,
Unto Him, thy God, O Zion,
Joyful hallelujahs sing.
