詩篇 146

1 我的靈魂，您要讚美上主，

Praise the Lord! With my whole being I praise the Lord!

2 在我一生，我要讚美上主，一息尚存，我要歌頌天主。

I will praise the Lord while I live; I will sing praises to my God while I have breath.

3 您們不要全心依賴王侯大臣，也不要依賴不能施救的世人；

Don't put your confidence in human leaders—they cannot save you.

4 他的氣息一斷，就歸於灰土，他的一切計劃立刻化為烏有。

Once they breathe no more, they go back to dust. On that very day everything they planned dies with them.

5 凡是以雅各伯的天主為自己扶助的人，上主天主為自己希望的，是有福的人。

Happy are those who have the God of Jacob to help them—their hope is in the Lord their God—

6 上主創造了上天與下土，海洋和其中的所有一切。他持守信實，一直到永久。

the one who made heaven and earth, and the sea along with everything it contains. He is trustworthy forever.

7 上主為被欺的人作辯護，上主給饑餓的人賜食物，上主使被囚的人得自由。

He makes sure the oppressed receive justice. He gives food to the hungry. The Lord sets the prisoners free.

8 上主開啟瞎子的眼睛，上主使傴僂的人直身，上主愛慕那正義的人。

The Lord makes the blind see. The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down. The Lord loves those who do what is right.

9 上主對旅客加以保護，上主支持孤兒和寡婦，上主迷惑惡人的道路。

The Lord takes care of strangers among us. He looks after widows and orphans. But he makes life difficult for the wicked.

10 願上主永永遠遠為君王！熙雍，您的天主萬壽無疆！

The Lord will reign forever. Zion, he will be your God for all generations. Praise the Lord!
