Lauda, anima.
We are not to trust in men, but in God alone.
145:1. Alleluia, of Aggeus and Zacharias.
145:2. 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:
145:3. In the children of men, in whom there is no salvation.
145:4. His spirit shall go forth, and he shall return into his earth:
in that day all their thoughts shall perish.

hope is in the Lord his God:
145:6. Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all things that are in
them.
145:7. 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:
145:8. The Lord enlighteneth the blind. The Lord lifteth up them that
are cast down: the Lord loveth the just.
145:9. The Lord keepeth the strangers, he will support the fatherless
and the widow: and the ways of sinners he will destroy.
145:10. The Lord shall reign for ever: thy God, O Sion, unto generation
and generation.
