1Hallelujah! Praise Jehovah, O my soul.
1Let the Lord be praised. Give praise to the Lord, 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 have breath I will give praise to the Lord: I will make melody to my God while I have my being.
3 Put not confidence in nobles, in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation.
3Put not your faith in rulers, or in the 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.
4Man's breath goes out, he is turned back again to dust; in that day all his purposes come to an end.
5 Blessed is he who hath theGod of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Jehovah hisGod,
5Happy is the man who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord 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 things in them; who keeps faith for ever:
7 Who executeth judgment for the oppressed, who giveth bread to the hungry. Jehovah looseth the prisoners;
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;
8 Jehovah openeth [the eyes of] the blind; Jehovah raiseth up them that are bowed down; Jehovah loveth the righteous;
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;
