Žalmy 146

1 Halelujah. Chval, duše má, Hospodina.

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

2 Chváliti budu Hospodina, dokud jsem živ, žalmy zpívati Bohu svému, dokud mne stává.

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

3 Nedoufejtež v knížatech, v synech lidských, v nichž není vysvobození.

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

4 Vychází duch jejich, navracují se do země své, v tentýž den mizejí myšlení jejich.

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 Blahoslavený ten, jehož spomocník jest Bůh silný Jákobův, jehož naděje jest v Hospodinu Bohu jeho,

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 Kterýž učinil nebe, zemi, moře, i vše, což v nich jest, kterýž ostříhá pravdy až na věky,

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 Kterýž činí soud utištěným, dává chléb lačným. Hospodin vysvobozuje vězně.

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 Hospodin otvírá oči slepých, Hospodin pozdvihuje snížených, Hospodin miluje spravedlivé.

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

9 Hospodin ostříhá příchozích, sirotku a vdově pomáhá, ale cestu bezbožných podvrací.

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 Kralovati bude Hospodin na věky, Bůh tvůj, ó Sione, od národu až do pronárodu. Halelujah.

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