Psalmi 146

1 Hvalite Gospoda. Hvali Gospoda, oh moja duša.

Praise the Lord! With my whole being I praise the Lord!

2 Medtem ko živim, bom hvalil Gospoda; medtem ko imam kakršen koli obstoj, bom prepeval hvalnice svojemu Bogu.

I will praise the Lord while I live; I will sing praises to my God while I have breath.

3 Svojega trdnega upanja ne polagaj v prince niti v človeškega sina, v katerem ni pomoči.

Don't put your confidence in human leaders—they cannot save you.

4 Njegov dih gre dalje, vrača se k svoji zemlji; na ta isti dan propadejo njegove misli.

Once they breathe no more, they go back to dust. On that very day everything they planned dies with them.

5 Srečen je tisti, ki ima za svojo pomoč Jakobovega Boga, katerega upanje je v Gospodu, njegovemu Bogu,

Happy are those who have the God of Jacob to help them—their hope is in the Lord their God—

6 ki je naredil nebo in zemljo, morje in vse, kar je tam notri, ki na veke ohranja resnico,

the one who made heaven and earth, and the sea along with everything it contains. He is trustworthy forever.

7 ki izvršuje sodbo za zatiranega, ki daje hrano lačnemu. Gospod osvobaja jetnike,

He makes sure the oppressed receive justice. He gives food to the hungry. The Lord sets the prisoners free.

8 Gospod slepim odpira oči, Gospod dviguje tiste, ki so sklonjeni, Gospod ljubi pravične,

The Lord makes the blind see. The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down. The Lord loves those who do what is right.

9 Gospod varuje tujce in podpira osirotelega in vdovo, toda pot zlobnih postavlja na glavo.

The Lord takes care of strangers among us. He looks after widows and orphans. But he makes life difficult for the wicked.

10 Gospod bo kraljeval na veke, celó tvoj Bog, oh Sion, vsem rodovom. Hvalite Gospoda.

The Lord will reign forever. Zion, he will be your God for all generations. Praise the Lord!
