1 Praise the LORD. Praise the LORD, my soul.

Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul.

2 While I live, I will praise the LORD. I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.

While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises to my God while I have any being.

Put not your trust in princes, [nor] in the son of man, in whom [there is] no help.

5 Blessed is the one who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God,

Happy [is he] that [hath] 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 that is in them; who keeps truth forever;

Who made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that [is] in them: who keepeth truth for ever:

7 who executes justice for the oppressed; who gives food to the hungry. The LORD frees the prisoners.

Who executeth judgment for the oppressed: who giveth food to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners:

8 The LORD opens the eyes of the blind. The LORD raises up those who are bowed down. The LORD loves the righteous.

The LORD openeth [the eyes of] the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous:

9 The LORD preserves the foreigners. He upholds the fatherless and widow, but the way of the wicked he turns upside down.

The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.

10 The LORD will reign forever; your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise the LORD.

The LORD will reign for ever, [even] thy God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise ye the LORD.
