§ The Book of Psalms 145

1 Alleluia, of Aggeus and Zacharias.

1 Alleluja, Aggæi et Zachariæ.

2 Praise 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:

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

3 in the children of men, in whom there is no salvation.

3 in filiis hominum, in quibus non est salus.

4 His spirit shall go forth, and he shall return into his earth: in that day all their thoughts shall perish.

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

5 Blessed is he who hath the God of Jacob for his helper, whose hope is in the Lord his God:

5 Beatus cujus Deus Jacob adjutor ejus, spes ejus in Domino Deo ipsius:

6 who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all things that are in them.

6 qui fecit cælum et terram, mare, et omnia quæ in eis sunt.

7 Who 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:

7 Qui custodit veritatem in sæculum; facit judicium injuriam patientibus; dat escam esurientibus. Dominus solvit compeditos;

8 the Lord enlighteneth the blind. The Lord lifteth up them that are cast down: the Lord loveth the just.

8 Dominus illuminat cæcos. Dominus erigit elisos; Dominus diligit justos.

9 The Lord keepeth the strangers, he will support the fatherless and the widow: and the ways of sinners he will destroy.

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