1Praise ye Jehovah . Praise Jehovah , O my soul . 2While I live will I praise Jehovah : I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being .
Trust in God, Not Man
3Put not your trust in princes , Nor in the son of man , in whom there is no help . 4His breath goeth forth , he returneth to his earth; In that very day his thoughts perish.
The God Who Helps the Helpless
5Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help , Whose hope is in Jehovah his God : 6Who made heaven and earth , The sea , and all that in them is ; Who keepeth truth for ever ; 7Who executeth justice for the oppressed ; Who giveth food 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 sojourners ; He upholdeth the fatherless and widow; But the way of the wicked he turneth upside down .
The Lord Reigns Forever
10Jehovah will reign for ever , Thy God , O Zion , unto all generations . Praise ye Jehovah .
