Chapter 145

The Psalmist exciteth himself, and all others to praise God for his singular regard, & providence of all that trust in him: ℣.3 shewing that neither Princes, nor other men are able to help, ℣.5 but God can and doth continually relieve all sorts of necessities.

1. 1

   Alleluia of Aggæus and Zacharie.

2. 2

   praise our Lord in my life: I will sing to my My soul praise thou our Lord, I will God as long as I shall be. Put not confidence in Princes:

3. 3

   in the sons 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 cogitations shall perish.

   Blessed is he, whose helper is the God of Jacob, his hope in our Lord his God:

6. 6

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

7. 7

   Which keepeth truth for ever, doth judgment for them that suffer wrong: giveth food to the hungry. Our Lord looseth the fettered:

8. 8

   our Lord illuminateth the blind. Our Lord lifteth up the bruised, our Lord loveth the just.

9. 9

   Our Lord keepeth strangers, the pupil and widow he will receive: and the ways of sinners he will destroy.

10. 10

    Our Lord will reign for ever, thy God, o Sion in generation & generation.
