Praise ye Jah! Praise, O my soul, Jehovah. |
2. |
I praise Jehovah during my life, I sing praise to my God while I exist. |
3. |
Trust not in princes -- in a son of man, For he hath no deliverance. |
4. |
His spirit goeth forth, he returneth to his earth, In that day have his thoughts perished. |
5. |
O the happiness of him Who hath the God of Jacob for his help, His hope `is' on Jehovah his God, |
6. |
Making the heavens and earth, The sea and all that `is' in them, Who is keeping truth to the age, |
7. |
Doing judgment for the oppressed, Giving bread to the hungry. |
8. |
Jehovah is loosing the prisoners, Jehovah is opening (the eyes of) the blind, Jehovah is raising the bowed down, Jehovah is loving the righteous, |
9. |
Jehovah is preserving the strangers, The fatherless and widow He causeth to stand, And the way of the wicked He turneth upside down. |
10. |
Jehovah doth reign to the age, Thy God, O Zion, to generation and generation, Praise ye Jah! |
