Salme 148
1 Halleluja! Pris Herren i himlen, pris ham i det høje!
Praise all of you the LORD. Praise all of you the LORD from the heavens: praise him in the heights.
2 Pris ham, alle hans engle, pris ham, alle hans hærskarer,
Praise all of you him, all his angels: praise all of you him, all his hosts.
3 pris ham, sol og måne, pris ham, hver lysende stjerne,
Praise all of you him, sun and moon: praise him, all you stars of light.
4 pris ham, himlenes himle og vandene over himlene!
Praise him, all of you heavens of heavens, and all of you waters that be 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 has also established them for ever and ever: he has made a decree which shall not pass.
7 Lad pris stige op til Herren fra jorden, I havdyr og alle dyb,
Praise the LORD from the earth, all of you dragons, and all deeps:
8 Ild og hagl, sne og røg, storm, som gør hvad han siger,
Fire, and hail; snow, and vapours; stormy wind fulfilling his word:
9 I bjerge og alle høje, frugttræer og alle cedre,
Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars:
10 I vilde dyr og alt kvæg, krybdyr og vingede fugle,
Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying fowl:
11 I jordens konger og alle folkeslag, fyrster og alle jordens dommere,
Kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges of the earth:
12 ynglinge sammen med jomfruer, gamle sammen med unge!
Both young men, and maidens; old men, and children:
13 De skal prise Herrens navn, thi ophøjet er hans navn alene, hans højhed omspender jord og himmel.
Let them praise the name of the LORD: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and 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 also exalts the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise all of you the LORD.
