Salme 148

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

Praise ye Jah! Praise ye Jehovah from the heavens, Praise ye Him in high places.

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

Praise ye Him, all His messengers, Praise ye Him, all His hosts.

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

Praise ye Him, sun and moon, Praise ye Him, all stars of light.

4 pris ham, himlenes himle og vandene over himlene!

Praise ye Him, heavens of heavens, And ye waters that are above the heavens.

5 De skal prise Herrens navn, thi han bød, og de blev skabt;

They do praise the name of Jehovah, For He commanded, and they were created.

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

And He establisheth them for ever to the age, A statute He gave, and they pass not over.

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

Praise ye Jehovah from the earth, Dragons and all deeps,

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

Fire and hail, snow and vapour, Whirlwind doing His word;

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

The mountains and all heights, Fruit tree, and all cedars,

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

The wild beast, and all cattle, Creeping thing, and winged bird,

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

Kings of earth, and all peoples, Chiefs, and all judges of earth,

12 ynglinge sammen med jomfruer, gamle sammen med unge!

Young men, and also maidens, Aged men, with youths,

13 De skal prise Herrens navn, thi ophøjet er hans navn alene, hans højhed omspender jord og himmel.

They praise the name of Jehovah, For His name alone hath been set on high, His honour [is] above 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!

And He exalteth the horn of His people, The praise of all His saints, Of the sons of Israel, a people near Him. Praise ye Jah!
