< Psalmorum 146 >
1 alleluia Aggei et Zacchariae
My soul, praise 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, while I live; I will sing to my God, while I am.
3 in filiis hominum quibus non est salus
Put not your trust in princes mortals, in whom is no help.
4 exibit spiritus eius et revertetur in terram suam in illa die peribunt omnes cogitationes eorum
When their breath goes out, they go back to the dust: on that very day their purposes perish.
5 beatus cuius Deus Iacob adiutor eius spes eius in Domino Deo ipsius
Happy those whose help is the God of Jacob: whose hope is set on the Lord their God,
6 qui fecit caelum et terram mare et omnia quae in eis
the Creator of heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them. He remains eternally loyal.
7 qui custodit veritatem in saeculum facit iudicium iniuriam patientibus dat escam esurientibus Dominus solvit conpeditos
For the wronged he executes justice; he gives bread to the hungry; the Lord releases the prisoners.
8 Dominus inluminat caecos Dominus erigit adlisos Dominus diligit iustos
The Lord gives sight to the blind: the Lord raises those who are bowed. The Lord loves the righteous.
9 Dominus custodit advenas pupillum et viduam suscipiet et viam peccatorum disperdet
The Lord preserves the stranger, upholds the widow and orphan, but the wicked he leads to disaster.
10 regnabit Dominus in saecula Deus tuus Sion in generationem et generationem
The Lord shall reign forever, your God, O Zion, to all generations. Hallelujah.
