1 Let the Lord be praised. Give praise to the Lord, O my soul.2 While 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 your faith in rulers, or in the son of man, in whom there is no salvation.4 Man's breath goes out, he is turned back again to dust; in that day all his purposes come to an end.5 Happy is the man who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God:6 Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all things in them; who keeps faith for ever:7 Who 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 The 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;9 The 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.10 The Lord will be King for ever; your God, O Zion, will be King through all generations. Praise be to the Lord.

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!
