Psalmi 146

1 Aleluja! Hvali, dušo moja, Jahvu!

Praise Yahweh! With my whole inner being I will praise Yahweh.

2 Hvalit ću Jahvu sveg života svojeg. Dok me bude, Bogu svom ću pjevati.

I will praise Yahweh as long as I am alive; I will sing to praise my God for [the rest of] my life.

3 Ne uzdajte se u knezove, u čovjeka od kog nema spasenja!

[You people], do not trust in your leaders; do not trust humans because they cannot save/rescue you [from your difficulties/problems].

4 Iziđe li duh iz njega, u zemlju svoju on se vraća i propadaju sve misli njegove.

And when they die, their corpses [decay and] become soil again. After they die, they can no longer do the things that they planned to do.

5 Blago onom kome je pomoćnik Bog Jakovljev, kome je ufanje u Jahvi, Bogu njegovu,

But those whose helper is the God whom Jacob [worshiped] are happy. The one whom they confidently expect [to help them] is Yahweh, their God.

6 koji stvori nebo i zemlju, more i sve što je u njima; koji ostaje vjeran dovijeka,

He is the one who created heaven and the earth and the oceans and all [the creatures] that are in them. He always does what he has promised to do.

7 potlačenima vraća pravicu, a gladnima kruh daje. Jahve oslobađa sužnje,

He decides matters fairly for those who are (treated unfairly/oppressed), and he provides food for those who are hungry. He frees those who are in prison.

8 Jahve slijepcima oči otvara. Jahve uspravlja prignute, Jahve ljubi pravedne.

Yahweh enables those who are blind to see again. He lifts up those who have fallen down. He loves righteous [people].

9 Jahve štiti tuđince, sirote i udovice podupire, a grešnicima mrsi putove.

Yahweh takes care of those from other countries who live in our land, and he helps widows and orphans. But he gets rid of wicked [people].

10 Jahve će kraljevati dovijeka, tvoj Bog, Sione, od koljena do koljena. Aleluja!

Yahweh will [continue to] be our king forever; you people of Israel, your God will rule forever! Praise Yahweh!
