Psalms 145
Lauda, anima. We are not to trust in men, but in God alone.
A lleluia, of Aggeus
and Zacharias.
2 Praise the Lord, O my soul, in my life I will praise the Lord:
I will sing to my God as long as I shall be. Put not your trust in princes:
3 In the children of men,
in whom there is no salvation.
4 His spirit shall go forth, and he shall return into his earth:
in that day all their thoughts shall perish.
5 Blessed is he who hath the God of Jacob for his helper,
whose hope is in the Lord his God:
6 Who made heaven and earth, the sea,
and all things that are in them.
7 Who keepeth truth for ever:
who executeth judgment for them that suffer wrong: who giveth food to the hungry. The Lord looseth them that are fettered:
8 The Lord enlighteneth the blind. The Lord lifteth up them that are cast down:
the Lord loveth the just.
9 The Lord keepeth the strangers, he will support the fatherless and the widow:
and the ways of sinners he will destroy.
10 The Lord shall reign for ever:
thy God, O Sion, unto generation and generation.
