Psalm 145
1 Alleluia, a Psalm of Aggeus 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 keepeth truth for ever:
7 who executeth judgment for the wronged:
who giveth food to the hungry.
The Lord looseth the fettered ones:
8 the Lord giveth wisdom to the blind:
The Lord setteth up the broken down:
the Lord loveth the righteous:
the Lord preserveth 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.
