1Alleluia, [a Psalm] of Aggæus and Zacharias. My soul, praise the Lord.
1Praise ye the Lord. Praise the Lord, O my soul.
2While I live will I praise the Lord: I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.
2While I live will I praise the Lord: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.
3Trust not in princes, nor in the children of men, in whom there is no safety.
3Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.
4His breath shall go forth, and he shall return to his earth; in that day all his thoughts shall perish.
4His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.
5Blessed is he whose helper 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:
6who made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all things in them: who keeps truth for ever:
6Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever:
7who executes judgment for the wronged: who gives food to the hungry. The Lord looses the fettered ones:
7Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The Lord looseth the prisoners:
8the Lord gives wisdom to the blind: The Lord sets up the broken down: the Lord loves the righteous: the Lord preserves the strangers;
8The Lord openeth the eyes of the blind: the Lord raiseth them that are bowed down: the Lord loveth the righteous:
9he will relieve the orphan and widow: but will utterly remove the way of sinners.
9The Lord preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.
10The Lord shall reign for ever, [even] thy God, O Sion, to all generations.
10The Lord shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the Lord.
