< Psalms 146 >

1 Praise Yahweh! With my whole inner being I will praise Yahweh.
我的靈魂,您要讚美上主,
2 I will praise Yahweh as long as I am alive; I will sing to praise my God for [the rest of] my life.
在我一生,我要讚美上主,一息尚存,我要歌頌天主。
3 [You people], do not trust in your leaders; do not trust humans because they cannot save/rescue you [from your difficulties/problems].
您們不要全心依賴王侯大臣,也不要依賴不能施救的世人;
4 And when they die, their corpses [decay and] become soil again. After they die, they can no longer do the things that they planned to do.
他的氣息一斷,就歸於灰土,他的一切計劃立刻化為烏有。
5 But those whose helper is the God whom Jacob [worshiped] are happy. The one whom they confidently expect [to help them] is Yahweh, their God.
凡是以雅各伯的天主為自己扶助的人,上主天主為自己希望的,是有福的人。
6 He is the one who created heaven and the earth and the oceans and all [the creatures] that are in them. He always does what he has promised to do.
上主創造了上天與下土,海洋和其中的所有一切。他持守信實,一直到永久。
7 He decides matters fairly for those who are (treated unfairly/oppressed), and he provides food for those who are hungry. He frees those who are in prison.
上主為被欺的人作辯護,上主給饑餓的人賜食物,上主使被囚的人得自由。
8 Yahweh enables those who are blind to see again. He lifts up those who have fallen down. He loves righteous [people].
上主開啟瞎子的眼睛,上主使傴僂的人直身,上主愛慕那正義的人。
9 Yahweh takes care of those from other countries who live in our land, and he helps widows and orphans. But he gets rid of wicked [people].
上主對旅客加以保護,上主支持孤兒和寡婦,上主迷惑惡人的道路。
10 Yahweh will [continue to] be our king forever; you people of Israel, your God will rule forever! Praise Yahweh!
願上主永永遠遠為君王!熙雍,您的天主萬壽無疆!
