Psalmorum 146

1 alleluia Aggei et Zacchariae

Hallelujah. Praise, O my soul, the Lord.

2 lauda anima mea Dominum laudabo Dominum in vita mea psallam Deo meo quamdiu fuero nolite confidere in principibus

I will praise the Lord throughout my life: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.

3 in filiis hominum quibus non est salus

Put not your trust in princes, in the son of man, in whom there is no salvation.

4 exibit spiritus eius et revertetur in terram suam in illa die peribunt omnes cogitationes eorum

When his spirit goeth forth, he returneth to his [native] earth: on that very day perish his thoughts.

5 beatus cuius Deus Iacob adiutor eius spes eius in Domino Deo ipsius

[But] happy is he who hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is on the Lord his God;

6 qui fecit caelum et terram mare et omnia quae in eis

Who hath made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that is therein; who keepeth truth for ever;

7 qui custodit veritatem in saeculum facit iudicium iniuriam patientibus dat escam esurientibus Dominus solvit conpeditos

Who executeth justice for the oppressed: who giveth bread to the hungry: the Lord looseneth the prisoners;

8 Dominus inluminat caecos Dominus erigit adlisos Dominus diligit iustos

The Lord causeth the blind to see; the Lord raiseth up those who are bowed down; the Lord loveth the righteous:

9 Dominus custodit advenas pupillum et viduam suscipiet et viam peccatorum disperdet

The Lord guardeth the strangers; the fatherless and widow he helpeth up; but the way of the wicked he maketh crooked.

10 regnabit Dominus in saecula Deus tuus Sion in generationem et generationem

The Lord will reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Hallelujah.
