1 | Alleluia. Of Haggai and Zachariah. |
2 | Praise the Lord, O my soul. I will praise the Lord with my life. I will sing psalms to my God as long as I shall be. Do not trust in the leaders, |
3 | in the sons of men, in whom there is no salvation. |
4 | His spirit will depart, and he will return to his earth. In that day, all their thoughts will perish. |
5 | Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob: his hope is in the Lord God himself, |
6 | who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all the things that are in them. |
7 | He preserves the truth forever. He executes judgment for those who suffer injury. He provides food for the hungry. The Lord releases those who are bound. |
8 | The Lord enlightens the blind. The Lord sets upright those who have been thrown down. The Lord loves the just. |
9 | The Lord watches over new arrivals. He will support the orphan and the widow. And he will destroy the ways of sinners. |
10 | The Lord shall reign forever: your God, O Zion, from generation to generation. |
