Psalms 148

1 Alleluia, [a Psalm] of Aggaeus and Zacharias. Praise you the Lord from the heavens: praise him in the highest.

亞肋路亞！請您們在天上讚美上主，請您們在高處讚美上主！

2 Praise you him, all his angels: praise you him, all his hosts.

上主的眾天使，請讚美上主；上主的一切聖者，請讚美上主！

3 Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all you stars and light.

太陽和月亮，請讚美上主；燦爛的諸星，請讚美上主！

4 Praise him, you heavens of heavens, and the water that is above the heavens.

天上的諸天，請讚美上主；天上的雨水，請讚美上主！

5 Let them praise the name of the Lord: for he spoke, and they were made; he commanded, and they were created.

願它們齊來讚美上主的名號！因為上主一命令，它們立刻受造。

6 He has established them for ever, even for ever and ever: he has made an ordinance, and it shall not pass away.

他確定的位置，留至永恒，他頒部的規律，永不變更。

7 Praise the Lord from the earth, you serpents, and all deeps.

請您們在地上讚美上主：海怪和海深處的眾水族，

8 Fire, hail, snow, ice, stormy wind; the things that perform his word.

還有電火與冰雹，白雪和雲霧，以及遵行他命令的狂風暴雨。

9 Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars:

山岳和一切丘陵，果樹與各種柏松，

10 wild beasts, and all cattle; reptiles, and winged birds:

野獸和一切畜牲，各種爬蟲和鳥類，

11 kings of the earth, and all peoples; princes, and all judges of the earth:

世上的列王和萬民，地上的元首與公卿，

12 young men and virgins, old men with youths:

少年人和童貞女，老年人與兒童侶，

13 let them praise the name of the Lord: for his name only is exalted; his praise is above the earth and heaven,

請您們讚美上主的名字，因為只有他的名字高貴，他的尊嚴遠遠超越天地，

14 and he shall exalt the horn of his people, [there is] a hymn for all his saints, [even] of the children of Israel, a people who draw near to him.

上主使自己百姓的頭角高聳，他是他自己一切聖徒的讚頌，即接近他的以色列民的光榮。
