Salme 148

1 Halleluja! Pris Herren i himlen, pris ham i det høje!

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 his angels; praise him, all his hosts.

3 pris ham, sol og måne, pris ham, hver lysende stjerne,

Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all stars of light.

4 pris ham, himlenes himle og vandene over himlene!

Praise him, you highest heavens, and you waters 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 at his command they were made.

6 han gav dem deres plads for evigt, han gav en lov, som de ej overtræder!

And he fixed them for ever and ever by a law which they dare not transgress.

7 Lad pris stige op til Herren fra jorden, I havdyr og alle dyb,

Praise the Lord from the earth: you depths, with your monsters, all.

8 Ild og hagl, sne og røg, storm, som gør hvad han siger,

Fire, hail, snow and ice, and stormy wind doing his word.

9 I bjerge og alle høje, frugttræer og alle cedre,

All you mountains and hills, all you fruit trees and cedars,

10 I vilde dyr og alt kvæg, krybdyr og vingede fugle,

all you wild beasts and tame, creeping things, birds on the wing.

11 I jordens konger og alle folkeslag, fyrster og alle jordens dommere,

All you kings and nations of earth; all you princes and judges of earth:

12 ynglinge sammen med jomfruer, gamle sammen med unge!

young men and maidens together, old men and children together.

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 exalted. Over heaven and earth is his glory.

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 lifted his people to honour. Wherefore this chorus of praise from his saints, from Israel, the people who stand in his fellowship. Hallelujah.
