Psalm 145

We are not to trust in men, but in God alone.

1. 1

   Alleluia. 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: The Lord lifteth up them that are cast down: the Lord loveth the just.

2. 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:

3. 3

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

4. 4

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

5. 5

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

6. 6

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

7. 7

   Who keepeth truth forever: who executeth judgment for them that suffer wrong: who giveth food to the hungry. The Lord looseth them that are fettered: 8 the Lord enlighteneth the blind.

8. 8

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

9. 9

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

10. 10

    The Lord shall reign forever: thy God, O Sion, unto generation and generation.
