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 the heavens! Praise him in the heights!

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 army!

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, you heavens of heavens, you waters that are 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 praise the LORD’s name, for he commanded, 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 has also established them forever and ever. He has made a decree which will not pass away.

7 請您們在地上讚美上主：海怪和海深處的眾水族，

Praise the LORD from the earth, you great sea creatures, and all depths,

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, stormy wind, fulfilling his word,

9 山岳和一切丘陵，果樹與各種柏松，

mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars,

10 野獸和一切畜牲，各種爬蟲和鳥類，

wild animals and all livestock, small creatures and flying birds,

11 世上的列王和萬民，地上的元首與公卿，

kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all judges of the earth,

12 少年人和童貞女，老年人與兒童侶，

both young men and maidens, old men 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 praise the LORD’s name, for his name alone is exalted. His glory is above the earth and the heavens.

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 lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his holy ones, even of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise the LORD!
