Psalms 148
1 Give praise to the Lord. Let the Lord be praised from the heavens: give him praise in the skies.
Halleluja! Pris Herren i himlen, pris ham i det høje!
2 Give praise to him, all you his angels: give praise to him, all his armies.
Pris ham, alle hans engle, pris ham, alle hans hærskarer,
3 Give praise to him, you sun and moon: give praise to him, all you stars of light.
pris ham, sol og måne, pris ham, hver lysende stjerne,
4 Give praise to him, you highest heavens, and you waters which are over the heavens.
pris ham, himlenes himle og vandene over himlene!
5 Let them give praise to the name of the Lord: for he gave the order, and they were made.
De skal prise Herrens navn, thi han bød, og de blev skabt;
6 He has put them in their places for ever; he has given them their limits which may not be broken.
han gav dem deres plads for evigt, han gav en lov, som de ej overtræder!
7 Give praise to the Lord from the earth, you great sea-beasts, and deep places:
Lad pris stige op til Herren fra jorden, I havdyr og alle dyb,
8 Fire and rain of ice, snow and mists; storm-wind, doing his word:
Ild og hagl, sne og røg, storm, som gør hvad han siger,
9 Mountains and all hills; fruit-trees and all trees of the mountains:
I bjerge og alle høje, frugttræer og alle cedre,
10 Beasts and all cattle; insects and winged birds:
I vilde dyr og alt kvæg, krybdyr og vingede fugle,
11 Kings of the earth, and all peoples; rulers and all judges of the earth:
I jordens konger og alle folkeslag, fyrster og alle jordens dommere,
12 Young men and virgins; old men and children:
ynglinge sammen med jomfruer, gamle sammen med unge!
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.
De skal prise Herrens navn, thi ophøjet er hans navn alene, hans højhed omspender jord og himmel.
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.
Han løfter et horn for sit folk, lovprist af alle sine fromme, af Israels børn, det folk, der står ham nær. Halleluja!
