Psalms 145

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Alleluia. Of Haggai and Zachariah.	1 Blessed be the Lord my God, who teacheth my hands to fight, and my fingers to war.
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,	2 My mercy, and my refuge: my support, and my deliverer: My protector, and I have hoped in him: who subdueth my people under me.
3 in the sons of men, in whom there is no salvation.	3 Lord, what is man, that thou art made known to him? or the son of man, that thou makest account of him?
4 His spirit will depart, and he will return to his earth. In that day, all their thoughts will perish.	4 Man is like to vanity: his days pass away like a shadow.
5 Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob: his hope is in the Lord God himself,	5 Lord, bow down thy heavens and descend: touch the mountains and they shall smoke.
6 who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all the things that are in them.	6 Send forth lightning, and thou shalt scatter them: shoot out thy arrows, and thou shalt trouble 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.	7 Put forth thy hand from on high, take me out, and deliver me from many waters: from the hand of strange children:
8 The Lord enlightens the blind. The Lord sets upright those who have been thrown down. The Lord loves the just.	8 Whose mouth hath spoken vanity: and their right hand is the right hand of iniquity.
9 The Lord watches over new arrivals. He will support the orphan and the widow. And he will destroy the ways of sinners.	9 To thee, O God, I will sing a new canticle: on the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings I will sing praises to thee.
10 The Lord shall reign forever: your God, O Zion, from generation to generation.	10 Who givest salvation to kings: who hast redeemed thy servant David from the malicious sword:
	11 Deliver me, And rescue me out of the hand of strange children; whose mouth hath spoken vanity: and their right hand is the right hand of iniquity:
	12 Whose sons are as new plants in their youth: Their daughters decked out, adorned round about after the similitude of a temple:
	13 Their storehouses full, flowing out of this into that. Their sheep fruitful in young, abounding in their goings forth:
	14 their oxen fat. There is no breach of wall, nor passage, nor crying out in their streets.
	15 They have called the people happy, that hath these things: but happy is that people whose God is the Lord.
