< Psalms 146 >
1 Alleluia, [a Psalm] of Aggaeus and Zacharias. My soul, praise the Lord.
Aleluja! Hvali, dušo moja, Jahvu!
2 While I live will I praise the Lord: I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.
Hvalit ću Jahvu sveg života svojeg. Dok me bude, Bogu svom ću pjevati.
3 Trust not in princes, nor in the children of men, in whom there is no safety.
Ne uzdajte se u knezove, u čovjeka od kog nema spasenja!
4 His breath shall go forth, and he shall return to his earth; in that day all his thoughts shall perish.
Iziđe li duh iz njega, u zemlju svoju on se vraća i propadaju sve misli njegove.
5 Blessed is he whose helper is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord his God:
Blago onom kome je pomoćnik Bog Jakovljev, kome je ufanje u Jahvi, Bogu njegovu,
6 who made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all things in them: who keeps truth for ever:
koji stvori nebo i zemlju, more i sve što je u njima; koji ostaje vjeran dovijeka,
7 who executes judgement for the wronged: who gives food to the hungry. The Lord looses the fettered ones:
potlačenima vraća pravicu, a gladnima kruh daje. Jahve oslobađa sužnje,
8 the Lord gives wisdom to the blind: The Lord sets up the broken down: the Lord loves the righteous: the Lord preserves the strangers;
Jahve slijepcima oči otvara. Jahve uspravlja prignute, Jahve ljubi pravedne.
9 he will relieve the orphan and widow: but will utterly remove the way of sinners.
Jahve štiti tuđince, sirote i udovice podupire, a grešnicima mrsi putove.
10 The Lord shall reign for ever, [even] your God, O Sion, to all generations.
Jahve će kraljevati dovijeka, tvoj Bog, Sione, od koljena do koljena. Aleluja!
