New Living Translation NLT
King James Version KJV
1 Praise the LORD ! Let all that I am praise the LORD .
1
Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul.
2 I will praise the LORD as long as I live. I will sing praises to my God with my dying breath.
2
While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.
3 Don’t put your confidence in powerful people; there is no help for you there.
3
Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.
4 When they breathe their last, they return to the earth, and all their plans die with them.
4
His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.
5 But joyful are those who have the God of Israel as their helper, whose hope is in the LORD their God.
5
Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God:
6 He made heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them. He keeps every promise forever.
6
Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever:
7 He gives justice to the oppressed and food to the hungry. The LORD frees the prisoners.
7
Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners:
8 The LORD opens the eyes of the blind. The LORD lifts up those who are weighed down. The LORD loves the godly.
8
The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous:
9 The LORD protects the foreigners among us. He cares for the orphans and widows, but he frustrates the plans of the wicked.
9
The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.
10 The LORD will reign forever. He will be your God, O Jerusalem, throughout the generations. Praise the LORD !
10
The LORD shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD.
