Psalms 145

¹Alleluia, of Aggæus and Zacharie.

²My soul praise thou our Lord, I will praise our Lord in my life: I will sing to my God as long as I shall be. Put not confidence in Princes:

³in the sons of men: in whom there is no salvation.

⁴His spirit shall go forth, and he shall return into his earth: in that day all their cogitations shall perish.

⁵Blessed is he, whose helper is the God of Jacob, his hope in our Lord his God:

⁶who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all things that are in them.

⁷Which keepeth truth for ever, doth judgment for them that suffer wrong: giveth food to the hungry. Our Lord looseth the fettered:

⁸our Lord illuminateth the blind. Our Lord lifteth up the bruised, our Lord loveth the just.

⁹Our Lord keepeth strangers, the pupil and widow he will receive: and the ways of sinners he will destroy.

¹⁰Our Lord will reign for ever thy God, o Sion in generation & generation.
