Psalms 146

1 Hallelujah. Praise the LORD, O my soul.

Hvalite Gospoda. Hvali Gospoda, oh moja duša.

2 I will praise the LORD while I live; I will sing praises unto 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 trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

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

4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his dust; in that very day his thoughts perish.

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

5 Happy is he whose help is the God of Jacob, 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 that in them is; who keepeth truth for ever;

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

7 Who executeth justice for the oppressed; who giveth bread to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners;

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

8 The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind; the LORD raiseth up them that are bowed down; the LORD loveth the righteous;

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

9 The LORD preserveth the strangers; He upholdeth the fatherless and the widow; but the way of the wicked He maketh crooked.

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

10 The LORD will reign for ever, Thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Hallelujah.

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