< Psalms 148 >
1 Hallelujah! Praise the LORD from the heavens; praise Him in the highest places.
Lover Herren fra Himlene, lover ham i det høje!
2 Praise Him, all His angels; praise Him, all His heavenly hosts.
Lover ham, alle hans Engle! lover ham, alle hans Hærskarer!
3 Praise Him, O sun and moon; praise Him, all you shining stars.
Lover ham, Sol og Maane! lover ham, alle Lysets Stjerner!
4 Praise Him, O highest heavens, and you waters above the skies.
Lover ham, Himlenes Himle! og I Vande, som ere over Himlene!
5 Let them praise the name of the LORD, for He gave the command and they were created.
De skulle love Herrens Navn; thi han bød, og de bleve skabte.
6 He established them forever and ever; He issued a decree that will never pass away.
Og han har stillet dem hen for bestandig, evindelig; han satte dem en Lov, og den skal ikke overskrides.
7 Praise the LORD from the earth, all great sea creatures and ocean depths,
Lover Herren fra Jorden, I Søuhyrer og alle Dyb!
8 lightning and hail, snow and clouds, powerful wind fulfilling His word,
Ild og Hagel, Sne og Røg og Stormvejr, som udretter hans Ord!
9 mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars,
I Bjerge og alle Høje, Frugttræer og alle Cedre!
10 wild animals and all cattle, crawling creatures and flying birds,
I vilde Dyr og alt Kvæg, Kryb og vingede Fugle!
11 kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all rulers of the earth,
I Konger paa Jorden og alle Folk, Fyrster og alle Dommere paa Jorden!
12 young men and maidens, old and young together.
Unge Karle og Jomfruer tillige, de gamle med de unge!
13 Let them praise the name of the LORD, for His name alone is exalted; His splendor is above the earth and the heavens.
De skulle love Herrens Navn; thi hans Navn alene er ophøjet, hans Majestæt er over Jorden og Himmelen.
14 He has raised up a horn for His people, the praise of all His saints, of Israel, a people near to Him. Hallelujah!
Og han har ophøjet et Horn for sit Folk, han, der er en Lovsang for alle sine hellige, for Israels Børn, det Folk, der er ham nær. Halleluja!
