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

1Let the Lord be praised. Give praise to the Lord, O my soul.

1Alleluia. Praise ye the Lord, because psalm is good: to our God be joyful and comely praise.

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

2While I have breath I will give praise to the Lord: I will make melody to my God while I have my being.

2The Lord buildeth up Jerusalem: he will gather together the dispersed of Israel.

3Put not your trust in princes, Nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

3Put not your faith in rulers, or in the son of man, in whom there is no salvation.

3Who healeth the broken of heart, and bindeth up their bruises.

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

4Man's breath goes out, he is turned back again to dust; in that day all his purposes come to an end.

4Who telleth the number of the stars: and calleth them all by their names.

5Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, Whose hope is in Jehovah his God:

5Happy is the man who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God:

5Great is our Lord, and great is his power: and of his wisdom there is no number.

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

6Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all things in them; who keeps faith for ever:

6The Lord lifteth up the meek, and bringeth the wicked down even to the ground.

7Who executeth justice for the oppressed; Who giveth food 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;

7Sing ye to the Lord with praise: sing to our God upon the harp.

8Jehovah 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;

8Who covereth the heaven with clouds, and prepareth rain for the earth. Who maketh grass to grow on the mountains, and herbs for the service of men.

9Jehovah preserveth the sojourners; He upholdeth the fatherless and widow; But the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.

9The Lord takes care of those who are in a strange land; he gives help to the widow and to the child who has no father; but he sends destruction on the way of sinners.

9Who giveth to beasts their food: and to the young ravens that call upon him.

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

10The Lord will be King for ever; your God, O Zion, will be King through all generations. Praise be to the Lord.

10He shall not delight in the strength of the horse: nor take pleasure in the legs of a man.

11The Lord taketh pleasure in them that fear him: and in them that hope in his mercy.
