1(146) Alleluia, [a Psalm] of Aggaeus and Zacharias. My soul, praise the Lord.
1I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.
2While I live will I praise the Lord: I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.
2Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name for ever and ever.
3Trust not in princes, nor in the children of men, in whom there is no safety.
3Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.
4His breath shall go forth, and he shall return to his earth; in that day all his thoughts shall perish.
4One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts.
5Blessed is he whose helper is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord his God:
5I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works.
6who made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all things in them: who keeps truth for ever:
6And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and I will declare thy greatness.
7who executes judgment for the wronged: who gives food to the hungry. The Lord looses the fettered ones:
7They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing of thy righteousness.
8the Lord gives wisdom to the blind: The Lord sets up the broken down: the Lord loves the righteous: the Lord preserves the strangers;
8The Lord is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy.
9he will relieve the orphan and widow: but will utterly remove the way of sinners.
9The Lord is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.
10The Lord shall reign for ever, [even] your God, O Sion, to all generations.
10All thy works shall praise thee, O Lord; and thy saints shall bless thee.
