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.
