Psalmorum 146

1 Alleluia, Aggaei, et Zachariae.

Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD, my soul.

2 Lauda anima mea Dominum, laudabo Dominum in vita mea: psallam Deo meo quamdiu fuero. Nolite confidere in principibus:

While I live, I will praise the LORD. I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.

3 in filiis hominum, in quibus non est salus.

Do not put your trust in princes, in a son of man in whom there is no help.

4 Exibit spiritus eius, et revertetur in terram suam: in illa die peribunt omnes cogitationes eorum.

His spirit departs, and he returns to the earth. In that very day, his thoughts perish.

5 Beatus, cuius Deus Iacob adiutor eius, spes eius in Domino Deo ipsius:

Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD, his God,

6 qui fecit caelum et terram, mare, et omnia, quae in eis sunt.

who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them; who keeps truth forever;

7 Qui custodit veritatem in saeculum, facit iudicium iniuriam patientibus: dat escam esurientibus. Dominus solvit compeditos:

who executes justice for the oppressed; who gives food to the hungry. The LORD frees the prisoners.

8 Dominus illuminat caecos. Dominus erigit elisos, Dominus diligit iustos.

The LORD opens the eyes of the blind. The LORD raises up those who are bowed down. The LORD loves the righteous.

9 Dominus custodit advenas, pupillum et viduam suscipiet: et vias peccatorum disperdet.

The LORD preserves the foreigners. He upholds the fatherless and widow, but he turns the way of the wicked upside down.

10 Regnabit Dominus in saecula Deus tuus Sion, in generatione et generationem.

The LORD will reign forever; your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise the LORD!
