Original text and translations

Latin text 135:1  Confitemini Domino, quoniam [ipse] bonus, quoniam in saeculum misericordia ejus. 135:25a  Qui dat escam omni carni: 146:9  qui dat jumentis escam ipsorum, et pullis corvorum invocantibus eum. 146:10  Non in fortitudine equi voluntatem habebit, nec in tibiis viri beneplacitum erit ei. 146:11  Beneplacitum est Domino super timentes eum, et in eis qui sperant super misericordia ejus.

English translation 136:1  O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is gracious: and his mercy endureth for ever. 136:25a  Who giveth food to all flesh: 147:9  Who giveth fodder unto the cattle: and feedeth the young ravens that call upon him. 147:10  He hath no pleasure in the strength of an horse: neither delighteth he in any man's legs. 147:11  But the Lord's delight is in them that fear him: and put their trust in his mercy.
