Psalms 146

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Alleluia. Praise the Lord, because the psalm is good. Delightful and beautiful praise shall be for our God.	1 I will extol thee, O God my king: and I will bless thy name for ever; yea, for ever and ever.
2 The Lord builds up Jerusalem. He will gather together the dispersed of Israel.	2 Every day I will bless thee: and I will praise thy name for ever; yea, for ever and ever.
3 He heals the contrite of heart, and he binds up their sorrows.	3 Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised: and of his greatness there is no end.
4 He numbers the multitude of the stars, and he calls them all by their names.	4 Generation and generation shall praise thy works: and they shall declare thy power.
5 Great is our Lord, and great is his virtue. And of his wisdom, there is no number.	5 They shall speak of the magnificence of the glory of thy holiness: and shall tell thy wondrous works.
6 The Lord lifts up the meek, but he brings down the sinner, even to the ground.	6 And they shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and shall declare thy greatness.
7 Sing before the Lord with confession. Play psalms to our God on a stringed instrument.	7 They shall publish the memory of the abundance of thy sweetness: and shall rejoice in thy justice.
8 He covers heaven with clouds, and he prepares rain for the earth. He produces grass on the mountains and herbs for the service of men.	8 The Lord is gracious and merciful: patient and plenteous in mercy.
9 He gives their food to beasts of burden and to young ravens that call upon him.	9 The Lord is sweet to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.
10 He will not have good will for the strength of the horse, nor will he be well pleased with the legs of a man.	10 Let all thy works, O lord, praise thee: and let thy saints bless thee.
11 The Lord is well pleased with those who fear him and with those who hope in his mercy.	11 They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom: and shall tell of thy power:
	12 To make thy might known to the sons of men: and the glory of the magnificence of thy kingdom.
	13 Thy kingdom is a kingdom of all ages: and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations.
	14 The Lord lifteth up all that fall: and setteth up all that are cast down.
	15 The eyes of all hope in thee, O Lord: and thou givest them meat in due season.
	16 Thou openest thy hand, and fillest with blessing every living creature.
	17 The Lord is just in all his ways: and holy in all his works.
	18 The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him: to all that call upon him in truth.
	19 He will do the will of them that fear him: and he will hear their prayer, and save them.
	20 The Lord keepeth all them that love him; but all the wicked he will destroy.
	21 My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord: and let all flesh bless thy holy name for ever; yea, for ever and ever.
