Psalms 146

1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul.

Hvalite Gospoda. Hvali Gospoda, oh moja duša.

2 While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises to my God while I have any being.

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

3 Put not your trust in princes, [nor] in the son of man, in whom [there is] no help.

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

4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.

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

5 Happy [is he] that [hath] the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope [is] in the LORD his God:

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

6 Who made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that [is] in them: who keepeth truth for ever:

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

7 Who executeth judgment for the oppressed: who giveth food to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners:

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

8 The LORD openeth [the eyes of] the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous:

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

9 The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.

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

10 The LORD will reign for ever, [even] thy God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise ye the LORD.

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