Psalms 145

Douay-Rheims Bible (Challoner revision) · 10 verses

1Alleluia, of Aggeus and Zacharias.

2Praise 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:

3In the children 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 thoughts shall perish.

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

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

7Who 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:

8The Lord enlighteneth the blind. The Lord lifteth up them that are cast down: the Lord loveth the just.

9The Lord keepeth the strangers, he will support the fatherless and the widow: and the ways of sinners he will destroy.

10The Lord shall reign for ever: thy God, O Sion, unto generation and generation.
