Ψαλμοί 146

1 αλληλουια Αγγαιου καὶ Ζαχαριου αἴνει ἡ ψυχή μου τὸν κύριον

Praise Yah! Praise Yahweh, my soul.

2 αἰνέσω κύριον ἐν ζωῇ μου ψαλῶ τῷ θεῷ μου ἕως ὑπάρχω

While I live, I will praise Yahweh. I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.

3 μὴ πεποίθατε ἐπ’ ἄρχοντας καὶ ἐφ’ υἱοὺς ἀνθρώπων οἷς οὐκ ἔστιν σωτηρία

Don’t put your trust in princes, in a son of man in whom there is no help.

4 ἐξελεύσεται τὸ πνεῦμα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπιστρέψει εἰς τὴν γῆν αὐτοῦ ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἀπολοῦνται πάντες οἱ διαλογισμοὶ αὐτῶν

His spirit departs, and he returns to the earth. In that very day, his thoughts perish.

5 μακάριος οὗ ὁ θεὸς Ιακωβ βοηθός ἡ ἐλπὶς αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ κύριον τὸν θεὸν αὐτοῦ

Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Yahweh, his God,

6 τὸν ποιήσαντα τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν τὴν θάλασσαν καὶ πάντα τὰ ἐν αὐτοῖς τὸν φυλάσσοντα ἀλήθειαν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα

who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them; who keeps truth forever;

7 ποιοῦντα κρίμα τοῖς ἀδικουμένοις διδόντα τροφὴν τοῖς πεινῶσιν κύριος λύει πεπεδημένους

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

8 κύριος ἀνορθοῖ κατερραγμένους κύριος σοφοῖ τυφλούς κύριος ἀγαπᾷ δικαίους

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

9 κύριος φυλάσσει τοὺς προσηλύτους ὀρφανὸν καὶ χήραν ἀναλήμψεται καὶ ὁδὸν ἁμαρτωλῶν ἀφανιεῖ

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

10 βασιλεύσει κύριος εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ὁ θεός σου Σιων εἰς γενεὰν καὶ γενεάν

Yahweh will reign forever; your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise Yah!
