¹Hallelujah! Praise Jehovah, O my soul. ²As long as I live will I praise Jehovah; I will sing psalms unto my God while I have my being. ³Put not confidence in nobles, in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation. ⁴His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his purposes perish.

⁵Blessed is he who hath the •God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Jehovah his God, ⁶Who made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is therein; who keepeth truth for ever; ⁷Who executeth judgment for the oppressed, who giveth bread to the hungry. Jehovah looseth the prisoners; ⁸Jehovah openeth the eyes of the blind; Jehovah raiseth up them that are bowed down; Jehovah loveth the righteous; ⁹Jehovah preserveth the strangers; he lifteth up the fatherless and the widow; but the way of the wicked doth he subvert. ¹⁰Jehovah will reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, from generation to generation. Hallelujah!
