Salme 148
1 Halleluja! Pris Herren i himlen, pris ham i det høje!
Praise Yahweh. Praise Yahweh, you in the heavens; praise him, you 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 you shining stars.
4 pris ham, himlenes himle og vandene over himlene!
Praise him, highest heaven and you waters that are above the sky.
5 De skal prise Herrens navn, thi han bød, og de blev skabt;
Let them praise the name of Yahweh, for he gave the command, 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 forever and ever; he issued a decree that will never change.
7 Lad pris stige op til Herren fra jorden, I havdyr og alle dyb,
Praise him from the earth, you sea monsters and all ocean depths,
8 Ild og hagl, sne og røg, storm, som gør hvad han siger,
fire and hail, snow and clouds, stormy wind fulfilling his word.
9 I bjerge og alle høje, frugttræer og alle cedre,
Praise him, mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars,
10 I vilde dyr og alt kvæg, krybdyr og vingede fugle,
animals wild and tame, creatures that crawl and birds.
11 I jordens konger og alle folkeslag, fyrster og alle jordens dommere,
Praise Yahweh, kings of the earth and all nations, princes and all who govern on the earth,
12 ynglinge sammen med jomfruer, gamle sammen med unge!
both young men and young women, elderly 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 name of Yahweh, for his name alone is exalted and his glory extends over 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!
He has lifted up the horn of his people for praise from all his faithful ones, the Israelites, the people near to him. Praise Yahweh.
