| Chapter 145 |
1 | Alleluia, 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.
