Lauda, anima. We are not to trust in men, but in God alone.
1 Alleluia, of Aggeus and Zacharias.
Alleluja, Aggaei et Zachariae.
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:
Lauda, anima mea, Dominum. Laudabo Dominum in vita mea; psallam Deo meo quamdiu fuero. Nolite confidere in principibus,
3 In the children of men, in whom there is no salvation.
in filiis hominum, in quibus non est salus.
4 His spirit shall go forth, and he shall return into his earth: in that day all their thoughts shall perish.
Exibit spiritus ejus, et revertetur in terram suam; in illa die peribunt omnes cogitationes eorum.
5 Blessed is he who hath the God of Jacob for his helper, whose hope is in the Lord his God:
Beatus cujus Deus Jacob adjutor ejus, spes ejus in Domino Deo ipsius :
6 Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all things that are in them.
qui fecit caelum et terram, mare, et omnia quae in eis sunt.
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:
Qui custodit veritatem in saeculum; facit judicium injuriam patientibus; dat escam esurientibus. Dominus solvit compeditos,
8 The Lord enlighteneth the blind. The Lord lifteth up them that are cast down: the Lord loveth the just.
Dominus illuminat caecos. Dominus erigit elisos; Dominus diligit justos.
9 The Lord keepeth the strangers, he will support the fatherless and the widow: and the ways of sinners he will destroy.
Dominus custodit advenas; pupillum et viduam suscipiet, et vias peccatorum disperdet.
10 The Lord shall reign for ever: thy God, O Sion, unto generation and generation.
Regnabit Dominus in saecula; Deus tuus, Sion, in generationem et generationem.
