Ps 147
1
Alleluia, of Aggeus and Zacharias.
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
in the children of men, in whom there is no salvation.
4
His spirit shall go forth, and he shall return into his earth: in that day all their
thoughts shall perish.
5
Blessed is he who hath the God of Jacob for his helper, whose hope is in the Lord
his God:
6
who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all things that are in them.
7
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:
8
the Lord enlighteneth the blind. The Lord lifteth up them that are cast down: the
Lord loveth the just.
9
The Lord keepeth the strangers, he will support the fatherless and the widow: and
the ways of sinners he will destroy.
10
The Lord shall reign for ever: thy God, O Sion, unto generation and generation.
