1Let the Lord be praised. Give praise to the Lord, O my soul.
1Hallelujah! Praise Jehovah, O my soul.
2While I have breath I will give praise to the Lord: I will make melody to my God while I have my being.
2 As long as I live will I praise Jehovah; I will sing psalms unto myGod while I have my being.
3Put not your faith in rulers, or in the son of man, in whom there is no salvation.
3 Put not confidence in nobles, in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation.
4Man's breath goes out, he is turned back again to dust; in that day all his purposes come to an end.
4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his purposes perish.
5Happy is the man who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God:
5 Blessed is he who hath theGod of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Jehovah hisGod,
6Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all things in them; who keeps faith for ever:
6 Who made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is therein; who keepeth truth for ever;
7Who gives their rights to those who are crushed down; and gives food to those who are in need of it: the Lord makes the prisoners free;
7 Who executeth judgment for the oppressed, who giveth bread to the hungry. Jehovah looseth the prisoners;
8The Lord makes open the eyes of the blind; the Lord is the lifter up of those who are bent down; the Lord is a lover of the upright;
8 Jehovah openeth [the eyes of] the blind; Jehovah raiseth up them that are bowed down; Jehovah loveth the righteous;
