1 Hallelujah! Praise Jehovah, O my soul.2 As long as I live will I praise Jehovah; I will sing psalms unto my God while I have my being.3 Put not confidence in nobles, in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation.4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his purposes perish.5 Blessed is he who hath the *God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Jehovah his God,6 Who made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is therein; who keepeth truth for ever;7 Who executeth judgment for the oppressed, who giveth bread 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 strangers; he lifteth up the fatherless and the widow; but the way of the wicked doth he subvert.10 Jehovah will reign for ever, {even} thy God, O Zion, from generation to generation. Hallelujah!
