Psalms 146

1 Let the Lord be praised. Give praise to the Lord, O my soul.

Hvalite Gospoda. Hvali Gospoda, oh moja duša.

2 While I have breath I will give praise to the Lord: I will make melody to my God while I have my being.

Medtem ko živim, bom hvalil Gospoda; medtem ko imam kakršen koli obstoj, bom prepeval hvalnice svojemu Bogu.

3 Put not your faith in rulers, or in the son of man, in whom there is no salvation.

Svojega trdnega upanja ne polagaj v prince niti v človeškega sina, v katerem ni pomoči.

4 Man's breath goes out, he is turned back again to dust; in that day all his purposes come to an end.

Njegov dih gre dalje, vrača se k svoji zemlji; na ta isti dan propadejo njegove misli.

5 Happy is the man who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God:

Srečen je tisti, ki ima za svojo pomoč Jakobovega Boga, katerega upanje je v Gospodu, njegovemu Bogu,

6 Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all things in them; who keeps faith for ever:

ki je naredil nebo in zemljo, morje in vse, kar je tam notri, ki na veke ohranja resnico,

7 Who gives their rights to those who are crushed down; and gives food to those who are in need of it: the Lord makes the prisoners free;

ki izvršuje sodbo za zatiranega, ki daje hrano lačnemu. Gospod osvobaja jetnike,

8 The Lord makes open the eyes of the blind; the Lord is the lifter up of those who are bent down; the Lord is a lover of the upright;

Gospod slepim odpira oči, Gospod dviguje tiste, ki so sklonjeni, Gospod ljubi pravične,

9 The Lord takes care of those who are in a strange land; he gives help to the widow and to the child who has no father; but he sends destruction on the way of sinners.

Gospod varuje tujce in podpira osirotelega in vdovo, toda pot zlobnih postavlja na glavo.

10 The Lord will be King for ever; your God, O Zion, will be King through all generations. Praise be to the Lord.

Gospod bo kraljeval na veke, celó tvoj Bog, oh Sion, vsem rodovom. Hvalite Gospoda.
