1 Hallelujah! Praise Jehovah, O my soul.

2 As long as I live will I praise Jehovah; I will sing psalms unto my God while I have my being.

3 Put not confidence in nobles, in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation.

4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his purposes perish.

5 Blessed is he who hath the *God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Jehovah his God,

6 Who made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is therein; who keepeth truth for ever;

7 Who executeth judgment for the oppressed, who giveth bread to the hungry. Jehovah looseth the prisoners;

8 Jehovah openeth {the eyes of} the blind; Jehovah raiseth up them that are bowed down; Jehovah loveth the righteous;

9 Jehovah preserveth the strangers; he lifteth up the fatherless and the widow; but the way of the wicked doth he subvert.

10 Jehovah will reign for ever, {even} thy God, O Zion, from generation to generation. Hallelujah!

1 Praise ye Jehovah.

Praise Jehovah, O my soul.

2 While I live will I praise Jehovah:

I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.

3 Put not your trust in princes,

Nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth;

In that very day his thoughts perish.

5 Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help,

Whose hope is in Jehovah his God:

6 Who made heaven and earth,

The sea, and all that in them is;

Who keepeth truth for ever;

7 Who executeth justice for the oppressed;

Who giveth food to the hungry.

Jehovah looseth the prisoners;

8 Jehovah openeth the eyes of the blind;

Jehovah raiseth up them that are bowed down;

Jehovah loveth the righteous;

9 Jehovah preserveth the sojourners;

He upholdeth the fatherless and widow;

But the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.

10 Jehovah will reign for ever,

Thy God, O Zion, unto all generations.

Praise ye Jehovah.
