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 Yahweh! Praise him, from up in heaven; praise him from way up in the sky!

2 他的眾使者都要讚美他！ 他的諸軍都要讚美他！

All you angels who belong to him, praise him! All you who are in the armies of heaven, praise him!

3 日頭月亮，你們要讚美他！ 放光的星宿，你們都要讚美他！

Sun and moon, [you also] praise him! You shining stars, you praise him!

4 天上的天和天上的水， 你們都要讚美他！

You highest heavens, praise him! And you waters that are high above the sky, praise him!

5 願這些都讚美耶和華的名！ 因他一吩咐便都造成。

I want [all of] these to praise Yahweh [MTY] because by commanding [them to exist], he created them.

6 他將這些立定，直到永永遠遠； 他定了命，不能廢去。

He determined the places where they should be [in the sky], and he commanded that they should be there forever. They cannot disobey that command!

7 所有在地上的， 大魚和一切深洋，

And everything on the earth, praise Yahweh! You [huge] sea monsters and [everything else that is] deep [in the ocean],

8 火與冰雹，雪和霧氣， 成就他命的狂風，

and fire and hail, and snow and frost, and strong winds that obey what he commands, [I tell] all of you to praise Yahweh!

9 大山和小山， 結果的樹木和一切香柏樹，

Hills and mountains, fruit trees and cedar [trees],

10 野獸和一切牲畜， 昆蟲和飛鳥，

all the wild animals and all [you] cattle, and the (reptiles/creatures that scurry across the ground), and [all] the birds, [I tell all of them to praise Yahweh]!

11 世上的君王和萬民， 首領和世上一切審判官，

You kings on this earth and all the people [that you rule], you princes and all [other] rulers,

12 少年人和處女， 老年人和孩童， 都當讚美耶和華！

you young men and young women, you old people and children, [everyone, praise Yahweh!]

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。

I want them [all] to praise Yahweh [MTY] because he is greater than anyone else. His glory is greater than [anything on] the earth or [in] heaven.

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 caused us, his people, to be strong in order that we, his people, we Israeli people (who are very precious to him/whom he loves very much), would praise him. So praise Yahweh!
