Psalms 146
1 Praise Yahweh! With my whole inner being I will praise Yahweh.
Alleluia, Aggaei, et Zachariae.
2 I will praise Yahweh as long as I am alive; I will sing to praise my God for [the rest of] my life.
Lauda anima mea Dominum, laudabo Dominum in vita mea: psallam Deo meo quamdiu fuero. Nolite confidere in principibus:
3 [You people], do not trust in your leaders; do not trust humans because they cannot save/rescue you [from your difficulties/problems].
in filiis hominum, in quibus non est salus.
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.
Exibit spiritus eius, et revertetur in terram suam: in illa die peribunt omnes cogitationes eorum.
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.
Beatus, cuius Deus Iacob adiutor eius, spes eius in Domino Deo ipsius:
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.
qui fecit caelum et terram, mare, et omnia, quae in eis sunt.
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.
Qui custodit veritatem in saeculum, facit iudicium iniuriam patientibus: dat escam esurientibus. Dominus solvit compeditos:
8 Yahweh enables those who are blind to see again. He lifts up those who have fallen down. He loves righteous [people].
Dominus illuminat caecos. Dominus erigit elisos, Dominus diligit iustos.
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].
Dominus custodit advenas, pupillum et viduam suscipiet: et vias peccatorum disperdet.
10 Yahweh will [continue to] be our king forever; you people of Israel, your God will rule forever! Praise Yahweh!
Regnabit Dominus in saecula Deus tuus Sion, in generatione et generationem.
