Salmos 146

1 ¡Aleluya! ¡Alaba, alma mía, a Yavé!

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

2 Alabaré a Yavé en mi vida. Cantaré alabanzas a mi ʼElohim mientras viva.

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

3 No confíen en gobernantes, En un hijo de hombre, en quien no hay salvación.

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

4 Sale su espíritu, vuelve a la tierra. Ese mismo día perecen sus planes.

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

5 Inmensamente feliz es aquél Cuya Ayuda es el ʼElohim de Jacob, Cuya esperanza está en Yavé su ʼElohim,

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

6 Quien hizo [el] cielo y [la] tierra, El mar y todo lo que hay en ellos, Quien guarda [su] fidelidad para siempre,

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

7 Quien ejecuta justicia a los oprimidos, Quien da alimento a los hambrientos. Yavé liberta a los prisioneros,

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

8 Yavé [da vista] a los ciegos, Yavé endereza a los encorvados, Yavé ama a los justos,

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 Yavé protege a los extranjeros, Él sostiene al huérfano y a la viuda, Pero Él trastorna el camino de los perversos.

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

10 Reinará Yavé para siempre, Tu ʼElohim, oh Sion, por todas las generaciones. ¡Aleluya!

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