Psalms 146

1 Praise Yahweh! With my whole inner being I will praise Yahweh.

Aleluja! Hvali, duša moja, Gospoda.

2 I will praise Yahweh as long as I am alive; I will sing to praise my God for [the rest of] my life.

Hvalil bodem Gospoda v življenji svojem; prepeval bodem Bogu svojemu, dokler bodem.

3 [You people], do not trust in your leaders; do not trust humans because they cannot save/rescue you [from your difficulties/problems].

Ne imejte zaupanja v prvake, v sina človeškega, pri katerem ni blaginje.

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.

Duh njegov izide, povrne se v zemljo svojo; isti dan minejo misli njegove.

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.

Blagor, komur je na pomoč Bog mogočni Jakobov; katerega nada je v Gospodu, njegovem Bogu,

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.

Kateri je naredil nebesa in zemljo, morje in kar je v njiju, kateri hrani zvestobo vekomaj.

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.

Kateri dela pravico zatiranim, hrane daje lačnim, Gospod oprašča jetnike.

8 Yahweh enables those who are blind to see again. He lifts up those who have fallen down. He loves righteous [people].

Gospod odpira očí slepim, Gospod vzdiguje potrte, Gospod ljubi pravične.

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].

Gospod brani tujce, siroto in vdovo podpira; pot pa hudobnih razdira.

10 Yahweh will [continue to] be our king forever; you people of Israel, your God will rule forever! Praise Yahweh!

Vladal bode Gospod vekomaj; Bog tvoj, o Sijon, od roda do roda. Aleluja!
