< Psalms 148 >
1 Give praise to the Lord. Let the Lord be praised from the heavens: give him praise in the skies.
Halelujah. Chvalte hospodina stvoření nebeská, chvaltež ho na výsostech.
2 Give praise to him, all you his angels: give praise to him, all his armies.
Chvalte jej všickni andělé jeho, chvalte jej všickni zástupové jeho.
3 Give praise to him, you sun and moon: give praise to him, all you stars of light.
Chvalte jej slunce i měsíc, chvalte jej všecky jasné hvězdy.
4 Give praise to him, you highest heavens, and you waters which are over the heavens.
Chvalte jej nebesa nebes, i vody, kteréž jsou nad nebem tímto.
5 Let them give praise to the name of the Lord: for he gave the order, and they were made.
Chvalte jméno Hospodinovo všecky věci, kteréž, jakž on řekl, pojednou stvořeny jsou.
6 He has put them in their places for ever; he has given them their limits which may not be broken.
A utvrdil je na věčné věky, uložil cíle, z nichž by nevykračovaly.
7 Give praise to the Lord from the earth, you great sea-beasts, and deep places:
Chvalte Hospodina tvorové zemští, velrybové a všecky propasti,
8 Fire and rain of ice, snow and mists; storm-wind, doing his word:
Oheň a krupobití, sníh i pára, vítr bouřlivý, vykonávající rozkaz jeho,
9 Mountains and all hills; fruit-trees and all trees of the mountains:
I hory a všickni pahrbkové, stromoví ovoce nesoucí, i všickni cedrové,
10 Beasts and all cattle; insects and winged birds:
Zvěř divoká i všeliká hovada, zeměplazové i ptactvo létavé,
11 Kings of the earth, and all peoples; rulers and all judges of the earth:
Králové zemští i všickni národové, knížata i všickni soudcové země,
12 Young men and virgins; old men and children:
Mládenci, též i panny, starci s dítkami,
13 Let them give glory to the name of the Lord: for his name only is to be praised: his kingdom is over the earth and the heaven.
Chvalte jméno Hospodinovo; nebo vyvýšeno jest jméno jeho samého, a sláva jeho nade všecku zemi i nebe.
14 He has put on high the horn of his people, for the praise of all his saints; even the children of Israel, a people which is near to him. Let the Lord be praised.
A vyzdvihl roh lidu svého, chválu všech svatých jeho, synů Izraelských, lidu s ním spojeného. Halelujah.
