< 诗篇 148 >
1 你们要赞美耶和华! 从天上赞美耶和华, 在高处赞美他!
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord from heaven; praise him in the heights above!
Praise him, all his angels; praise him, all his heavenly armies!
3 日头月亮,你们要赞美他! 放光的星宿,你们都要赞美他!
Praise him, sun and moon! Praise him, all you shining stars!
Praise him, highest heavens, and the waters above the heavens!
5 愿这些都赞美耶和华的名! 因他一吩咐便都造成。
Let them all praise the Lord and his nature, for he gave the order and they were created.
6 他将这些立定,直到永永远远; 他定了命,不能废去。
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,
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,
12 少年人和处女, 老年人和孩童, 都当赞美耶和华!
young men and women, old people and children—
13 愿这些都赞美耶和华的名! 因为独有他的名被尊崇; 他的荣耀在天地之上。
Let them all praise the Lord, for his reputation is unequalled; his glory is above anything on earth or in heaven.
14 他将他百姓的角高举, 因此他一切圣民以色列人, 就是与他相近的百姓,都赞美他! 你们要赞美耶和华!
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!
