Salme 148

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

Praise ye Yah, Praise Yahweh, out of the heavens, Praise him, in the heights;

2 Pris ham, alle hans engle, pris ham, alle hans hærskarer,

Praise him, all his messengers, Praise him, all his host;

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, O 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 Yahweh, for, he, commanded, and they were created;

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

So caused he them to stand perpetually—age-abidingly, A decree, hath he given, and it passeth not beyond.

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

Praise Yahweh, out of the earth, sea monsters, and all resounding 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,

Ye mountains, and all hills, fruit trees, and all cedars;

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

Thou wild-beast, and all ye cattle, crawling creature, and bird of wing;

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

Kings of earth, and all peoples, Rulers, and all judges of earth;

12 ynglinge sammen med jomfruer, gamle sammen med unge!

Young men, yea even virgins, elders, 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 Yahweh, for lofty is his Name alone, His splendour is over earth and heavens.

14 Han løfter et horn for sit folk, lovprist af alle sine fromme, af Israels børn, det folk, der står ham nær. Halleluja!

Therefore hath he exalted a horn for his people, a praise for all his men of lovingkindness, for the sons of Israel—a people near him, Praise ye Yah!
