^[a]146 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 ^[b]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 ^[c]turneth upside down.
¹⁰ Jehovah will reign for ever,
Thy God, O Zion, unto all generations.
^[d]Praise ye Jehovah.
