1Hallelujah! Praise Jehovah, O my soul.

1Praise ye Jehovah. Praise Jehovah, O my soul.

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

2While I live will I praise Jehovah: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.

3Put 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 purposes perish.

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

5 Blessed is he who hath theGod of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Jehovah hisGod,

5Happy is he that 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;

6Who made heaven and earth, The sea, and all that in them is; Who keepeth truth for ever;

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

7Who 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;

8Jehovah 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.

9Jehovah 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, [even] thyGod, O Zion, from generation to generation. Hallelujah!

10Jehovah will reign for ever, Thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye Jehovah.
