Salme 148
1 Halleluja! Pris Herren i himlen, pris ham i det høje!
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord from heaven; praise him in the heights above!
2 Pris ham, alle hans engle, pris ham, alle hans hærskarer,
Praise him, all his angels; praise him, all his heavenly armies!
3 pris ham, sol og måne, pris ham, hver lysende stjerne,
Praise him, sun and moon! Praise him, all you shining stars!
4 pris ham, himlenes himle og vandene over himlene!
Praise him, highest heavens, and the waters above the heavens!
5 De skal prise Herrens navn, thi han bød, og de blev skabt;
Let them all praise the Lord and his nature, for he gave the order and they were created.
6 han gav dem deres plads for evigt, han gav en lov, som de ej overtræder!
He placed them in their positions forever and ever; he established a law that will never end.
7 Lad pris stige op til Herren fra jorden, I havdyr og alle dyb,
Praise the Lord from the earth, and creatures from all the depths of the seas,
8 Ild og hagl, sne og røg, storm, som gør hvad han siger,
lightning and hail, snow and clouds, and stormy wind—everything that does as he commands.
9 I bjerge og alle høje, frugttræer og alle cedre,
Mountains and all the hills, fruit trees and all the trees of the forest,
10 I vilde dyr og alt kvæg, krybdyr og vingede fugle,
wild animals and all livestock, crawling animals and wild birds,
11 I jordens konger og alle folkeslag, fyrster og alle jordens dommere,
earthly kings and all peoples, leaders and rulers of the world,
12 ynglinge sammen med jomfruer, gamle sammen med unge!
young men and women, old people and children—
13 De skal prise Herrens navn, thi ophøjet er hans navn alene, hans højhed omspender jord og himmel.
Let them all praise the Lord, for his reputation is unequalled; his glory is above anything on earth or in heaven.
14 Han løfter et horn for sit folk, lovprist af alle sine fromme, af Israels børn, det folk, der står ham nær. Halleluja!
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!
