1. Alleluia, of Aggeus and Zacharias.

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:

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

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

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

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

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:

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

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

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





“Por que a tentação passada deixa na alma uma certa perturbação? perguntou um penitente a Padre Pio. Ele respondeu: “Você já presenciou um tremor de terra? Quando tudo estremece a sua volta, você também é sacudido; no entanto, não necessariamente fica enterrado nos destroços!” São Padre Pio de Pietrelcina
