Salme 148
1 Halleluja! Pris Herren i himlen, pris ham i det høje!
Hallelujah! Praise Jehovah from the heavens; praise him in the heights.
2 Pris ham, alle hans engle, pris ham, alle hans hærskarer,
Praise ye him, all his angels; praise ye him, all his hosts.
3 pris ham, sol og måne, pris ham, hver lysende stjerne,
Praise 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, and 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 Jehovah, for he it is that commanded, and they were created:
6 han gav dem deres plads for evigt, han gav en lov, som de ej overtræder!
And he established them for ever and ever; he made [for them] a statute which shall not pass.
7 Lad pris stige op til Herren fra jorden, I havdyr og alle dyb,
Praise Jehovah 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 vapour, stormy wind fulfilling his word;
9 I bjerge og alle høje, frugttræer og alle cedre,
Mountains and all hills, fruit-trees and all cedars;
10 I vilde dyr og alt kvæg, krybdyr og vingede fugle,
Beasts and all cattle, creeping things and winged fowl;
11 I jordens konger og alle folkeslag, fyrster og alle jordens dommere,
Kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all judges of the earth;
12 ynglinge sammen med jomfruer, gamle sammen med unge!
Both young men and maidens, old men with youths, —
13 De skal prise Herrens navn, thi ophøjet er hans navn alene, hans højhed omspender jord og himmel.
Let them praise the name of Jehovah: for his name alone is exalted; his majesty 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 står ham nær. Halleluja!
And he hath lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints, [even] of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Hallelujah!
