Psaumes 146

1Alleluia ! Mon âme, loue Yahweh !

2Toute ma vie, je veux louer Yahweh, tant que je serai, je veux chanter mon Dieu.

3Ne mettez pas votre confiance dans les princes, dans le fils de l’homme, qui ne peut sauver.

4Son souffle s’en va, il retourne à sa poussière, et, ce même jour, ses desseins s’évanouissent.

5Heureux celui qui a pour secours le Dieu de Jacob, qui met son espoir en Yahweh, son Dieu !

6Yahweh a fait le ciel et la terre, la mer et tout ce qu’elle renferme ; il garde à jamais sa fidélité.

7Il rend justice aux opprimés, il donne la nourriture à ceux qui ont faim. Yahweh délivre les captifs,

8Yahweh ouvre les yeux des aveugles, Yahweh relève ceux qui sont courbés, Yahweh aime les justes.

9Yahweh garde les étrangers, il soutient l’orphelin et la veuve ; mais il rend tortueuse la voie des méchants.

10Yahweh est roi pour l’éternité, ton Dieu, ô Sion, d’âge en âge. Alleluia !

1Alleluja, Aggæi et Zachariæ.

2[Lauda, anima mea, Dominum. Laudabo Dominum in vita mea; psallam Deo meo quamdiu fuero. Nolite confidere in principibus,

3in filiis hominum, in quibus non est salus.

4Exibit spiritus ejus, et revertetur in terram suam; in illa die peribunt omnes cogitationes eorum.

5Beatus cujus Deus Jacob adjutor ejus, spes ejus in Domino Deo ipsius:

6qui fecit cælum et terram, mare, et omnia quæ in eis sunt.

7Qui custodit veritatem in sæculum; facit judicium injuriam patientibus; dat escam esurientibus. Dominus solvit compeditos;

8Dominus illuminat cæcos. Dominus erigit elisos; Dominus diligit justos.

9Dominus custodit advenas, pupillum et viduam suscipiet, et vias peccatorum disperdet.

10Regnabit Dominus in sæcula; Deus tuus, Sion, in generationem et generationem.]

1Alleluia, of Aggeus and Zacharias.

2Praise 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:

3In the children of men, in whom there is no salvation.

4His spirit shall go forth, and he shall return into his earth: in that day all their thoughts shall perish.

5Blessed is he who hath the God of Jacob for his helper, whose hope is in the Lord his God:

6Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all things that are in them.

7Who 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:

8The Lord enlighteneth the blind. The Lord lifteth up them that are cast down: the Lord loveth the just.

9The Lord keepeth the strangers, he will support the fatherless and the widow: and the ways of sinners he will destroy.

10The Lord shall reign for ever: thy God, O Sion, unto generation and generation.
