Psalms 148

1 Hallelujah! Praise the LORD from the heavens; praise Him in the highest places.

Halleluja! Pris HERREN i Himlen, pris ham i det høje!

2 Praise Him, all His angels; praise Him, all His heavenly hosts.

Pris ham, alle hans Engle, pris ham, alle hans Hærskarer,

3 Praise Him, O sun and moon; praise Him, all you shining stars.

pris ham, Sol og Maane, pris ham, hver lysende Stjerne,

4 Praise Him, O highest heavens, and you waters above the skies.

pris ham, Himlenes Himle og Vandene over Himlene!

5 Let them praise the name of the LORD, for He gave the command and they were created.

De skal prise HERRENS Navn, thi han bød, og de blev skabt;

6 He established them forever and ever; He issued a decree that will never pass away.

han gav dem deres Plads for evigt, han gav en Lov, som de ej overtræder!

7 Praise the LORD from the earth, all great sea creatures and ocean depths,

Lad Pris stige op til HERREN fra Jorden, I Havdyr og alle Dyb,

8 lightning and hail, snow and clouds, powerful wind fulfilling His word,

Ild og Hagl, Sne og Røg, Storm, som gør, hvad han siger,

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, Krybdyr og vingede Fugle,

11 kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all rulers of the earth,

I Jordens Konger og alle Folkeslag, Fyrster og alle Jordens Dommere,

12 young men and maidens, old and young together.

Ynglinge sammen med Jomfruer, gamle sammen med 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 skal prise HERRENS Navn, thi ophøjet er hans Navn alene, hans Højhed omspænder Jord og Himmel.

14 He has raised up a horn for His people, the praise of all His saints, of Israel, a people near to Him. Hallelujah!

Han løfter et Horn for sit Folk, lovprist af alle sine fromme, af Israels Børn, det Folk, der staar ham nær. Halleluja!
