< Psalms 148 >
1 Give praise to the Lord. Let the Lord be praised from the heavens: give him praise in the skies.
Hvalite Gospoda. Hvalite Gospoda iz nebes, hvalite ga na višavah.
2 Give praise to him, all you his angels: give praise to him, all his armies.
Hvalite ga, vsi njegovi angeli, hvalite ga, vse njegove vojske.
3 Give praise to him, you sun and moon: give praise to him, all you stars of light.
Hvalita ga, sonce in luna, hvalite ga vse ve zvezdne luči.
4 Give praise to him, you highest heavens, and you waters which are over the heavens.
Hvalite ga, ve nebes nebesa in ve vode, ki ste nad nebom.
5 Let them give praise to the name of the Lord: for he gave the order, and they were made.
Naj hvalijo Gospodovo ime, kajti ukazal je in bili so ustvarjeni.
6 He has put them in their places for ever; he has given them their limits which may not be broken.
Tudi njih je utrdil na veke vekov; naredil je odlok, ki ne bo minil.
7 Give praise to the Lord from the earth, you great sea-beasts, and deep places:
Hvalite Gospoda z zemlje, vi zmaji in vse globine,
8 Fire and rain of ice, snow and mists; storm-wind, doing his word:
ogenj in toča, sneg in meglica, viharni veter, izpolnjujoč njegovo besedo,
9 Mountains and all hills; fruit-trees and all trees of the mountains:
gore in vsi hribi, rodovitna drevesa in vse cedre,
10 Beasts and all cattle; insects and winged birds:
živali in vsa živina, plazeče stvari in leteča perjad,
11 Kings of the earth, and all peoples; rulers and all judges of the earth:
kralji zemlje in vsi ljudje, princi in vsi zemeljski sodniki,
12 Young men and virgins; old men and children:
tako mladeniči kakor mladenke, starci in otroci;
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.
naj hvalijo Gospodovo ime, kajti njegovo ime samó je odlično; njegova slava je nad zemljo in nebom.
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.
Povišuje tudi rog svojega ljudstva, hvalo vseh njegovih svetih, celó Izraelovih otrok, ljudstva blizu njemu. Hvalite Gospoda.
