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.

1 Halleluja! Loof die HERE, o my siel!2 Ek wil die HERE prys solank as ek lewe; ek wil psalmsing tot eer van my God solank as ek nog daar is.3 Vertrou nie op prinse, op die mensekind, by wie geen heil is nie.4 Sy gees gaan uit, hy keer terug na sy aarde toe; op daardie dag is dit met sy planne gedaan.5 Welgeluksalig is hy wat die God van Jakob het as sy hulp, wie se hoop is op die HERE sy God,6 wat hemel en aarde gemaak het, die see en alles wat daarin is; wat trou bly tot in ewigheid;7 wat aan die verdruktes reg doen, wat aan die hongeriges brood gee. Die HERE maak die gevangenes los.8 Die HERE open die oë van die blindes; die HERE rig die wat geboë is, op; die HERE het die regverdiges lief.9 Die HERE behoed die vreemdelinge; Hy rig wees en weduwee weer op; maar die weg van die goddelose maak Hy krom.10 Die HERE is vir ewig Koning; jou God, o Sion, is van geslag tot geslag! Halleluja!
