PSALM CXLV

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

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

Blessed is he who hath the God of Jacob for his helper, whose hope is in the Lord his God; * Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that are in them.

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; * the Lord enlighteneth the blind.

The Lord lifteth up them that are cast down; * the Lord loveth the just.
