Challoner’s heading

Lauda, anima.

Psalm 145 in the Vulgate numbering this edition follows; Psalm 146 in the Hebrew numbering of most modern Bibles.

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.
Psalm 145 of 150

Text: the Douay-Rheims Bible in Bishop Challoner’s revision, public domain, from Project Gutenberg ebook 8300, set unaltered — 150 psalms and 2,528 verses, checked for gaps. Challoner’s own notes are left out, as in the gospels; the summary at the head of each psalm is his and is labelled as his. Psalms are numbered as in the Latin Vulgate, which differs by one from the Hebrew numbering of most modern Bibles for most of the book; each psalm gives both.
