Psalmi 146

1 Hvalite Gospoda. Hvali Gospoda, oh moja duša.

My soul, 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 to my God, while I am.

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

Put not your trust in princes mortals, in whom is no help.

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

When their breath goes out, they go back to the dust: on that very day their purposes perish.

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

Happy those whose help is the God of Jacob: whose hope is set on the Lord their God,

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

the Creator of heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them. He remains eternally loyal.

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

For the wronged he executes justice; he gives bread to the hungry; the Lord releases the prisoners.

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

The Lord gives sight to the blind: the Lord raises those who are bowed. The Lord loves the righteous.

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

The Lord preserves the stranger, upholds the widow and orphan, but the wicked he leads to disaster.

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

The Lord shall reign forever, your God, O Zion, to all generations. Hallelujah.
