Psalms 146

1 Hallelujah. Praise, O my soul, the Lord.

Aleluja! Hvali, dušo moja, Jahvu!

2 I will praise the Lord throughout my life: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.

Hvalit ću Jahvu sveg života svojeg. Dok me bude, Bogu svom ću pjevati.

3 Put not your trust in princes, in the son of man, in whom there is no salvation.

Ne uzdajte se u knezove, u čovjeka od kog nema spasenja!

4 When his spirit goeth forth, he returneth to his [native] earth: on that very day perish his thoughts.

Iziđe li duh iz njega, u zemlju svoju on se vraća i propadaju sve misli njegove.

5 [But] happy is he who hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is on the Lord his God;

Blago onom kome je pomoćnik Bog Jakovljev, kome je ufanje u Jahvi, Bogu njegovu,

6 Who hath made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that is therein; who keepeth truth for ever;

koji stvori nebo i zemlju, more i sve što je u njima; koji ostaje vjeran dovijeka,

7 Who executeth justice for the oppressed: who giveth bread to the hungry: the Lord looseneth the prisoners;

potlačenima vraća pravicu, a gladnima kruh daje. Jahve oslobađa sužnje,

8 The Lord causeth the blind to see; the Lord raiseth up those who are bowed down; the Lord loveth the righteous:

Jahve slijepcima oči otvara. Jahve uspravlja prignute, Jahve ljubi pravedne.

9 The Lord guardeth the strangers; the fatherless and widow he helpeth up; but the way of the wicked he maketh crooked.

Jahve štiti tuđince, sirote i udovice podupire, a grešnicima mrsi putove.

10 The Lord will reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Hallelujah.

Jahve će kraljevati dovijeka, tvoj Bog, Sione, od koljena do koljena. Aleluja!
