Scripture Expanded Comments
Jehovah an abundant Helper.
1 Praise ye Jehovah.
Praise Jehovah, O my soul.
2 While I live will I praise Jehovah:
I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.
3 Put not your trust in princes,
Nor in a son of man, in whom there is no help.
4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth;
In that very day his thoughts perish.
His thoughts perish – Contrary to the teachings of Spiritualism. R2170:2

"The dead know not anything." (Eccl. 9:5) R4792:1

There is no conscious existence after the breath leaves the body. R802:3, R1881:5

His personality, the result of his hereditary and prenatal influences, combined with his experiences, perishes, for it cannot exist without a body. R5166:2

Whoever would believe the Scriptural doctrine of the resurrection must also believe the Scriptural doctrine respecting death--that death is death, the cessation of life. R4791:6


5 Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help,
Whose hope is in Jehovah his God:
6 Who made heaven and earth,
The sea, and all that in them is;
Who keepeth truth for ever;
7 Who executeth justice for the oppressed;
Who giveth food to the hungry.
Jehovah looseth the prisoners;
Looseth the prisoners – Setting free the prisoners of sin and death. OV387:5; A112

8 Jehovah openeth the eyes of the blind;
Jehovah raiseth up them that are bowed down;
Jehovah loveth the righteous;
9 Jehovah preserveth the sojourners;
He upholdeth the fatherless and widow;
But the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.
Relieveth the fatherless – The Lord's special care and compassion are over the weak, helpless, and bereaved ones. Q781:4

10 Jehovah will reign for ever,
Thy God, O Zion, unto all generations.
Praise ye Jehovah.
