Psalms 146

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

Pujilah TUHAN! Hai jiwaku, pujilah TUHAN!

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

Aku mau memuji TUHAN selama hidupku dan menyanyi bagi Allahku selama aku ada.

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

Janganlah berharap kepada penguasa, kepada manusia yang tak dapat menyelamatkan.

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

Kalau mereka mati, mereka kembali ke tanah; hari itu juga semua rencana mereka lenyap.

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

Berbahagialah orang yang mengandalkan TUHAN Allahnya, dan mempunyai Allah Yakub sebagai penolongnya.

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

Dialah yang menjadikan langit dan bumi, laut dan segala isinya; Ia tetap setia selama-lamanya.

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

Ia membela hak orang-orang yang tertindas, dan memberi makan kepada orang yang lapar. TUHAN membebaskan para tahanan,

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.

dan membuat orang buta dapat melihat. Ia menegakkan orang yang jatuh, dan mengasihi orang yang jujur.

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

Ia melindungi orang-orang asing; Ia menolong para janda dan yatim piatu, tetapi menggagalkan rencana orang jahat.

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

TUHAN itu Raja untuk selama-lamanya. Hai Sion, Allahmu berkuasa selama segala abad. Pujilah TUHAN!
