Haleluya! Praise the Lord, O my soul.

Hallelukah! Praise the L rd, O my soul.

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

I shall praise the L rd in my life. I shall sing to the L rd while I yet [live].

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

Place not your trust in princes, in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

His breath goes forth, he returns to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.

[When] his spirit leaves, he returns to his earth [from which he was taken. And at that time] all of his thoughts are lost.

Happy is he who has the God of Ya῾aqov for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God:

Happy the man whose help is the G d of Jacob [viz. Genesis 28:15], whose hope is in the L rd, his G d.

who made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that is in them: who keeps truth forever.

[For He is] the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea and all that is therein [(so that He can protect him in all of these elements)], the keeper of truth [(the truth of His assurance)] forever.

Who executes judgment for the oppressed: who gives bread to the hungry. The Lord looses the prisoners:

The executor of justice for the despoiled. He gives bread to the hungry. The L rd looses the bound.

the Lord opens the eyes of the blind: the Lord raises those who are bowed down: the Lord loves the righteous:

The L rd gives sight to the blind. The L rd straightens the bowed. The L rd loves the righteous.

the Lord preserves the strangers; he relieves the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he makes crooked.

The L rd keeps the converts. He heartens the orphan and the widow, and He makes crooked the way of the wicked.

The Lord shall reign forever, thy God, O Żiyyon, to all generations. Haleluya!

The L rd will reign forever [(He will establish His kingdom with the redemption of His children)], your G d [who dwells in] Zion, through all the generations, Hallelukah!
