< 詩篇 148 >
1 你們要讚美耶和華! 從天上讚美耶和華, 在高處讚美他!
Praise the Lord from the heavens, praise him in the heights.
Praise him, all his angels; praise him, all his hosts.
3 日頭月亮,你們要讚美他! 放光的星宿,你們都要讚美他!
Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all stars of light.
Praise him, you highest heavens, and you waters above the heavens.
5 願這些都讚美耶和華的名! 因他一吩咐便都造成。
Let them praise the name of the Lord, for at his command they were made.
6 他將這些立定,直到永永遠遠; 他定了命,不能廢去。
And he fixed them for ever and ever by a law which they dare not transgress.
Praise the Lord from the earth: you depths, with your monsters, all.
Fire, hail, snow and ice, and stormy wind doing his word.
All you mountains and hills, all you fruit trees and cedars,
all you wild beasts and tame, creeping things, birds on the wing.
All you kings and nations of earth; all you princes and judges of earth:
12 少年人和處女, 老年人和孩童, 都當讚美耶和華!
young men and maidens together, old men and children together.
13 願這些都讚美耶和華的名! 因為獨有他的名被尊崇; 他的榮耀在天地之上。
Let them praise the name of the Lord, for his name alone is exalted. Over heaven and earth is his glory.
14 他將他百姓的角高舉, 因此他一切聖民以色列人, 就是與他相近的百姓,都讚美他! 你們要讚美耶和華!
He has lifted his people to honor. Wherefore this chorus of praise from his saints, from Israel, the people who stand in his fellowship. Hallelujah.
