1 P raise ye Jah! Praise, O my soul, Jehovah.

Hallelujah! Praise Jehovah, O my soul.

2 I praise Jehovah during my life, I sing praise to my God while I exist.

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

3 T rust not in princes -- in a son of man, For he hath no deliverance.

Put not confidence in nobles, in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation.

4 H is spirit goeth forth, he returneth to his earth, In that day have his thoughts perished.

His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his purposes perish.

5 O the happiness of him Who hath the God of Jacob for his help, His hope on Jehovah his God,

Blessed is he who hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Jehovah his God,

6 M aking the heavens and earth, The sea and all that in them, Who is keeping truth to the age,

Who made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is therein; who keepeth truth for ever;

7 D oing judgment for the oppressed, Giving bread to the hungry.

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

8 J ehovah is loosing the prisoners, Jehovah is opening (the eyes of) the blind, Jehovah is raising the bowed down, Jehovah is loving the righteous,

Jehovah openeth the blind; Jehovah raiseth up them that are bowed down; Jehovah loveth the righteous;

9 J ehovah is preserving the strangers, The fatherless and widow He causeth to stand, And the way of the wicked He turneth upside down.

Jehovah preserveth the strangers; he lifteth up the fatherless and the widow; but the way of the wicked doth he subvert.

10 J ehovah doth reign to the age, Thy God, O Zion, to generation and generation, Praise ye Jah!

Jehovah will reign for ever, thy God, O Zion, from generation to generation. Halleluiah!
