Psalmorum 146

1 Alleluia, Aggæi, et Zachariæ.

Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul.

2 Lauda anima mea Dominum, laudabo Dominum in vita mea: psallam Deo meo quamdiu fuero. Nolite confidere in principibus:

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

3 in filiis hominum, in quibus non est salus.

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

4 Exibit spiritus eius, et revertetur in terram suam: in illa die peribunt omnes cogitationes eorum.

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

5 Beatus, cuius Deus Iacob adiutor eius, spes eius in Domino Deo ipsius:

Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God:

6 qui fecit cælum et terram, mare, et omnia, quæ in eis sunt.

Who made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that is in them: who keepeth truth for ever:

7 Qui custodit veritatem in sæculum, facit iudicium iniuriam patientibus: dat escam esurientibus. Dominus solvit compeditos:

Who executeth judgment for the oppressed: who giveth food to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners:

8 Dominus illuminat cæcos. Dominus erigit elisos, Dominus diligit iustos.

The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous:

9 Dominus custodit advenas, pupillum et viduam suscipiet: et vias peccatorum disperdet.

The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.

10 Regnabit Dominus in sæcula, Deus tuus Sion, in generationem et generationem.

The LORD shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise ye the LORD.
