< Salme 148 >
1 Halleluja! Pris HERREN i Himlen, pris ham i det høje!
Praise ye the LORD! Praise the LORD from the heavens! Praise him in the heights!
2 Pris ham, alle hans Engle, pris ham, alle hans Hærskarer,
Praise him, all ye his angels! Praise him, all ye his hosts!
3 pris ham, Sol og Maane, pris ham, hver lysende Stjerne,
Praise ye him, sun and moon! Praise him, all ye stars of light!
4 pris ham, Himlenes Himle og Vandene over Himlene!
Praise him, ye heavens of heavens! Ye waters, that are above the heavens!
5 De skal prise HERRENS Navn, thi han bød, og de blev skabt;
Let them praise the name of the LORD; For he commanded, and they were created.
6 han gav dem deres Plads for evigt, han gav en Lov, som de ej overtræder!
He hath also established them for ever; He hath given them a law, and they transgress it not.
7 Lad Pris stige op til HERREN fra Jorden, I Havdyr og alle Dyb,
Praise the LORD from the earth, Ye sea-monsters, and all deeps!
8 Ild og Hagl, Sne og Røg, Storm, som gør, hvad han siger,
Fire and hail, snow and vapor; Thou tempest, that fulfillest his word!
9 I Bjerge og alle Høje, Frugttræer og alle Cedre,
Ye mountains, and all hills! Fruit-trees, and all cedars!
10 I vilde Dyr og alt Kvæg, Krybdyr og vingede Fugle,
Ye wild beasts, and all cattle! Ye creeping things, and winged birds!
11 I Jordens Konger og alle Folkeslag, Fyrster og alle Jordens Dommere,
Ye kings, and all peoples, Princes, and all judges of the earth!
12 Ynglinge sammen med Jomfruer, gamle sammen med unge!
Young men and maidens, Old men and children!
13 De skal prise HERRENS Navn, thi ophøjet er hans Navn alene, hans Højhed omspænder Jord og Himmel.
Let them praise the name of the LORD! For his name alone is exalted; His glory is above the earth and the heavens.
14 Han løfter et Horn for sit Folk, lovprist af alle sine fromme, af Israels Børn, det Folk, der staar ham nær. Halleluja!
He exalteth the horn of his people, The glory of all his godly ones, Of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise ye the LORD!
