Psaumes 146
1 Alléluiah. Psaume d'Aggée et de Zacharie. Ô mon âme, loue le Seigneur;
Praise Yahweh! With my whole inner being I will praise Yahweh.
2 Je louerai le Seigneur toute ma vie; je chanterai des psaumes à mon Dieu tant que j'existerai. Ne mettez point votre confiance dans les princes,
I will praise Yahweh as long as I am alive; I will sing to praise my God for [the rest of] my life.
3 Ni dans les fils des hommes; car ils n'ont point de salut.
[You people], do not trust in your leaders; do not trust humans because they cannot save/rescue you [from your difficulties/problems].
4 Leur esprit s'évanouira, et ils retourneront en leur terre; en ce jour- là périront toutes leurs pensées.

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.
7 Qui garde la vérité dans tous les siècles, qui rend justice aux opprimés; qui donne aux pauvres la nourriture. Le Seigneur délivre ceux qui sont enchaînés.

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