Psalm 145:1–146:1

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.

Psalm 146
