< 詩篇 148 >
1 亞肋路亞!請您們在天上讚美上主,請您們在高處讚美上主!
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord from heaven; praise him in the heights above!
2 上主的眾天使,請讚美上主;上主的一切聖者,請讚美上主!
Praise him, all his angels; praise him, all his heavenly armies!
3 太陽和月亮,請讚美上主;燦爛的諸星,請讚美上主!
Praise him, sun and moon! Praise him, all you shining stars!
4 天上的諸天,請讚美上主;天上的雨水,請讚美上主!
Praise him, highest heavens, and the waters above the heavens!
5 願它們齊來讚美上主的名號!因為上主一命令,它們立刻受造。
Let them all praise the Lord and his nature, for he gave the order and they were created.
6 他確定的位置,留至永恒,他頒部的規律,永不變更。
He placed them in their positions forever and ever; he established a law that will never end.
Praise the Lord from the earth, and creatures from all the depths of the seas,
8 還有電火與冰雹,白雪和雲霧,以及遵行他命令的狂風暴雨。
lightning and hail, snow and clouds, and stormy wind—everything that does as he commands.
Mountains and all the hills, fruit trees and all the trees of the forest,
wild animals and all livestock, crawling animals and wild birds,
earthly kings and all peoples, leaders and rulers of the world,
young men and women, old people and children—
13 請您們讚美上主的名字,因為只有他的名字高貴,他的尊嚴遠遠超越天地,
Let them all praise the Lord, for his reputation is unequalled; his glory is above anything on earth or in heaven.
14 上主使自己百姓的頭角高聳,他是他自己一切聖徒的讚頌,即接近他的以色列民的光榮。
He has given his people a source of strength, bringing praise to his faithful followers, the people of Israel who are dear to him. Praise the Lord!
