< Mazmur 146 >
1 Pujilah TUHAN! Hai jiwaku, pujilah TUHAN!
Alleluia. Of Haggai and Zachariah.
2 Aku mau memuji TUHAN selama hidupku dan menyanyi bagi Allahku selama aku ada.
Praise the Lord, O my soul. I will praise the Lord with my life. I will sing psalms to my God as long as I shall be. Do not trust in the leaders,
3 Janganlah berharap kepada penguasa, kepada manusia yang tak dapat menyelamatkan.
in the sons of men, in whom there is no salvation.
4 Kalau mereka mati, mereka kembali ke tanah; hari itu juga semua rencana mereka lenyap.
His spirit will depart, and he will return to his earth. In that day, all their thoughts will perish.
5 Berbahagialah orang yang mengandalkan TUHAN Allahnya, dan mempunyai Allah Yakub sebagai penolongnya.
Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob: his hope is in the Lord God himself,
6 Dialah yang menjadikan langit dan bumi, laut dan segala isinya; Ia tetap setia selama-lamanya.
who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all the things that are in them.
7 Ia membela hak orang-orang yang tertindas, dan memberi makan kepada orang yang lapar. TUHAN membebaskan para tahanan,
He preserves the truth forever. He executes judgment for those who suffer injury. He provides food for the hungry. The Lord releases those who are bound.
8 dan membuat orang buta dapat melihat. Ia menegakkan orang yang jatuh, dan mengasihi orang yang jujur.
The Lord enlightens the blind. The Lord sets upright those who have been thrown down. The Lord loves the just.
9 Ia melindungi orang-orang asing; Ia menolong para janda dan yatim piatu, tetapi menggagalkan rencana orang jahat.
The Lord watches over new arrivals. He will support the orphan and the widow. And he will destroy the ways of sinners.
10 TUHAN itu Raja untuk selama-lamanya. Hai Sion, Allahmu berkuasa selama segala abad. Pujilah TUHAN!
The Lord shall reign forever: your God, O Zion, from generation to generation.
