## Psalm 145 (Catholic Public Domain Version)

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.

## Psalm 145 in Latin (Clementine Vulgate, 1592)

1. Alleluja, Aggæi et Zachariæ.
2. Lauda, anima mea, Dominum. Laudabo Dominum in vita mea; psallam Deo meo quamdiu fuero. Nolite confidere in principibus,
3. in filiis hominum, in quibus non est salus.
4. Exibit spiritus ejus, et revertetur in terram suam; in illa die peribunt omnes cogitationes eorum.
5. Beatus cujus Deus Jacob adjutor ejus, spes ejus in Domino Deo ipsius:
6. qui fecit cælum et terram, mare, et omnia quæ in eis sunt.
7. Qui custodit veritatem in sæculum; facit judicium injuriam patientibus; dat escam esurientibus. Dominus solvit compeditos;
8. Dominus illuminat cæcos. Dominus erigit elisos; Dominus diligit justos.
9. Dominus custodit advenas, pupillum et viduam suscipiet, et vias peccatorum disperdet.
10. Regnabit Dominus in sæcula; Deus tuus, Sion, in generationem et generationem.
