ਜ਼ਬੂਰ 146
Praise Yahweh! With my whole inner being I will praise Yahweh.
I will praise Yahweh as long as I am alive; I will sing to praise my God for [the rest of] my life.
[You people], do not trust in your leaders; do not trust humans because they cannot save/rescue you [from your difficulties/problems].
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.
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.
6 ੬ ਉਹ ਨੇ ਅਕਾਸ਼ ਤੇ ਧਰਤੀ ਨੂੰ ਸਮੁੰਦਰ ਨੂੰ ਤੇ ਜੋ ਕੁਝ ਉਸ ਵਿੱਚ ਹੈ ਬਣਾਇਆ, ਉਹ ਵਫ਼ਾਦਾਰੀ ਦੀ ਸਦਾ ਤੱਕ ਪਾਲਣਾ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈ।
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.
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.
8 ੮ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਅੰਨ੍ਹਿਆਂ ਦੀਆਂ ਅੱਖਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਖੋਲ੍ਹ ਦਿੰਦਾ ਹੈ, ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਝੁਕਿਆ ਹੋਇਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਸਿੱਧਾ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈ, ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਧਰਮੀਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਪਿਆਰ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈ।
Yahweh enables those who are blind to see again. He lifts up those who have fallen down. He loves righteous [people].
9 ੯ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਪਰਦੇਸੀਆਂ ਦੀ ਪਾਲਣਾ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈ, ਯਤੀਮਾਂ ਤੇ ਵਿਧਵਾ ਨੂੰ ਸੰਭਾਲਦਾ ਹੈ, ਪਰ ਦੁਸ਼ਟਾਂ ਦਾ ਰਾਹ ਵਿੰਗਾ ਕਰ ਦਿੰਦਾ ਹੈ।
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].
Yahweh will [continue to] be our king forever; you people of Israel, your God will rule forever! Praise Yahweh!
