| 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. --
