Psalms 146

1 Alleluia, [a Psalm] of Aggaeus and Zacharias. My soul, praise the Lord.

Hvalite Gospoda. Hvali Gospoda, oh moja duša.

2 While I live will I praise the Lord: I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.

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

3 Trust not in princes, nor in the children of men, in whom there is no safety.

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

4 His breath shall go forth, and he shall return to his earth; in that day all his thoughts shall perish.

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

5 Blessed is he whose helper 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 things in them: who keeps truth for ever:

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

7 who executes judgment for the wronged: who gives food to the hungry. The Lord looses the fettered ones:

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

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;

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

9 he will relieve the orphan and widow: but will utterly remove the way of sinners.

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

10 The Lord shall reign for ever, [even] your God, O Sion, to all generations.

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