Psalm 146

 

Hallelujah! Praise the LORD, O my soul! * 
I will praise the LORD as long as I live; 
I will sing praises to my God while I have my being. 
Put not your trust in rulers, nor in any child of earth, * 
for there is no help in them. 
When they breathe their last, they return to earth, * 
and in that day their thoughts perish. 
Happy are they who have the God of Jacob for their help!* 
whose hope is in the LORD their God; 
Who made heaven and earth, the seas, and all that is in them; * 
who keeps his promise for ever; 
Who gives justice to those who are oppressed, * 
and food to those who hunger. 
The LORD sets the prisoners free; 
the LORD opens the eyes of the blind; * 
the LORD lifts up those who are bowed down; 
The LORD loves the righteous; the LORD cares for the stranger; * 
he sustains the orphan and widow, but frustrates the way of the wicked. 
The LORD shall reign for ever, * 
your God, O Zion, throughout all generations. 
Hallelujah!




Pietro Cavallini, surviving fragment of The Last Judgement in Santa Cecilia in Trastevere in Rome, 
13th century
