Psalms 146

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

Beni SENYÈ a! Beni SENYÈ a, O nanm mwen!

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

Mwen va beni SENYÈ a pandan mwen ap viv. Mwen va chante lwanj a Bondye pa mwen an pandan mwen sou latè a.

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

Pa mete konfyans nan prens yo. Nan lòm mòtèl, nan (sila) nanpwen Sali a.

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

Lespri li pa rete; li retounen nan tè a. Nan menm jou sa a, panse li yo vin peri.

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

A la beni (sila) ki gen sekou nan Bondye Jacob la beni, (sila) ki mete espwa li nan SENYÈ a, Bondye li a,

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

Ki te fè syèl la avèk tè a, lanmè ak tout sa ki ladann. Ki fidèl jis pou tout tan.

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

Ki egzekite jistis pou oprime yo. Ki bay manje a moun grangou yo. SENYÈ a mete prizonye yo an libète.

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

SENYÈ a ouvri zye a avèg yo. SENYÈ a leve (sila) ki vin pwostène yo. SENYÈ a renmen moun ladwati yo.

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

SENYÈ a pwoteje etranje yo. Li bay soutyen a òfelen an ak vèv la, men Li jennen wout mechan an.

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

SENYÈ a va renye jis pou tout tan, Bondye pa Ou a, O Sion, jis pou tout jenerasyon yo. Louwe SENYÈ a!
