| 1Hallelujah! Praise the LORD, my soul! | 1Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul. |
| 2I will praise the LORD as long as I live, singing praises to my God while I exist. | 2While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being. |
| 3Do not look to nobles, nor to mere human beings who cannot save. | 3Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. |
| 4When they stop breathing, they return to the ground; on that very day their plans evaporate! | 4His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish. |
| 5Happy is the one whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD his God, | 5Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God: |
| 6maker of heaven and earth, the seas and everything in them, forever the guardian of truth, | 6Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever: |
| 7who brings justice for the oppressed, and who gives food to the hungry. The LORD frees the prisoners; | 7Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners: |
| 8the LORD gives sight to the blind. The LORD lifts up those who are weighed down. The LORD loves the righteous. | 8The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous: |
| 9The LORD stands guard over the stranger; he supports both widows and orphans, but makes the path of the wicked slippery. | 9The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down. |
| 10The LORD will reign forever, your God, Zion, for all generations! Hallelujah! | 10The LORD shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD. |
