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

2 W hile I live will I praise Jehovah: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.

3 P ut not your trust in princes, Nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

4 H is breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; In that very day his thoughts perish.

5 H appy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, Whose hope is in Jehovah his God:

6 W ho made heaven and earth, The sea, and all that in them is; Who keepeth truth for ever;

7 W ho executeth justice for the oppressed; Who giveth food to the hungry. Jehovah looseth the prisoners;

8 J ehovah openeth the eyes of the blind; Jehovah raiseth up them that are bowed down; Jehovah loveth the righteous;

9 J ehovah preserveth the sojourners; He upholdeth the fatherless and widow; But the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.

10 J ehovah will reign for ever, Thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye Jehovah.
