Psalms 145
1 Alleluia,
a Psalm of Haggai and Zacharias.
My soul, praise the Lord. 2 While I
live will I praise the Lord: I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.
3 Trust not in princes, nor in the
children of men, in whom there is no safety.
4 His breath shall go forth, and he
shall return to his earth; in that day all his thoughts shall perish.
5 Blessed is he whose helper is the
God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord his God:
6 who made heaven, and earth, the sea,
and all things in them: who keeps truth for ever:
7 who executes judgment for the
wronged: who gives food to the hungry. The Lord looses the fettered ones:
8 the Lord gives wisdom to the blind:
The Lord sets up the broken down: the Lord loves the righteous: the Lord
preserves the strangers; 9 he will
relieve the orphan and widow: but will utterly remove the way of sinners.
10 The Lord shall reign for ever,
even thy God, O Sion, to all generations.
