1Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord, my soul.
2While I live, I will praise the Lord.
I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.
3Don’t put your trust in princes,
in a son of man in whom there is no help.
4His spirit departs, and he returns to the earth.
In that very day, his thoughts perish.
5Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help,
whose hope is in the Lord, his God,
6who made heaven and earth,
the sea, and all that is in them;
who keeps truth forever;
7who executes justice for the oppressed;
who gives food to the hungry.
The Lord frees the prisoners.
8The Lord opens the eyes of the blind.
The Lord raises up those who are bowed down.
The Lord loves the righteous.
9The Lord preserves the foreigners.
He upholds the fatherless and widow,
but He turns the way of the wicked upside down.
10The Lord will reign forever;
your God, O Zion, to all generations.
Praise the Lord!
1Alleluja, Aggæi et Zachariæ. 2Lauda, anima mea, Dominum. Laudabo Dominum in vita mea; psallam Deo meo quamdiu fuero. Nolite confidere in principibus, 3in filiis hominum, in quibus non est salus. 4Exibit spiritus ejus, et revertetur in terram suam; in illa die peribunt omnes cogitationes eorum. 5Beatus cujus Deus Jacob adjutor ejus, spes ejus in Domino Deo ipsius: 6qui fecit cælum et terram, mare, et omnia quæ in eis sunt. 7Qui custodit veritatem in sæculum; facit judicium injuriam patientibus; dat escam esurientibus. Dominus solvit compeditos; 8Dominus illuminat cæcos. Dominus erigit elisos; Dominus diligit justos. 9Dominus custodit advenas, pupillum et viduam suscipiet, et vias peccatorum disperdet. 10Regnabit Dominus in sæcula; Deus tuus, Sion, in generationem et generationem.
