Psalms 146

1 Praise JAH. Praise YHWH, my soul.

Hvalite Gospoda. Hvali Gospoda, oh moja duša.

2 While I live, I will praise YHWH. 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 Do not put your trust in princes, each a 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 spirit departs, and he returns to the earth. In that very day, his thoughts perish.

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

5 Blessed is the one who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in YHWH 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 is in them; who keeps truth forever;

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

7 who executes justice for the oppressed; who gives food to the hungry. YHWH frees the prisoners.

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

8 YHWH opens the eyes of the blind. YHWH raises up those who are bowed down. YHWH loves the righteous.

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

9 YHWH preserves the foreigners. He upholds the fatherless and widow, but the way of the wicked he turns upside down.

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

10 YHWH will reign forever; your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise JAH.

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