< Psalms 148 >
1 Alleluia, [a Psalm] of Aggaeus and Zacharias. Praise you the Lord from the heavens: praise him in the highest.
Halleluja! Pris HERREN i Himlen, pris ham i det høje!
2 Praise you him, all his angels: praise you him, all his hosts.
Pris ham, alle hans Engle, pris ham, alle hans Hærskarer,
3 Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all you stars and light.
pris ham, Sol og Maane, pris ham, hver lysende Stjerne,
4 Praise him, you heavens of heavens, and the water that is above the heavens.
pris ham, Himlenes Himle og Vandene over Himlene!
5 Let them praise the name of the Lord: for he spoke, and they were made; he commanded, and they were created.
De skal prise HERRENS Navn, thi han bød, og de blev skabt;
6 He has established them for ever, even for ever and ever: he has made an ordinance, and it shall not pass away.
han gav dem deres Plads for evigt, han gav en Lov, som de ej overtræder!
7 Praise the Lord from the earth, you serpents, and all deeps.
Lad Pris stige op til HERREN fra Jorden, I Havdyr og alle Dyb,
8 Fire, hail, snow, ice, stormy wind; the things that perform his word.
Ild og Hagl, Sne og Røg, Storm, som gør, hvad han siger,
9 Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars:
I Bjerge og alle Høje, Frugttræer og alle Cedre,
10 wild beasts, and all cattle; reptiles, and winged birds:
I vilde Dyr og alt Kvæg, Krybdyr og vingede Fugle,
11 kings of the earth, and all peoples; princes, and all judges of the earth:
I Jordens Konger og alle Folkeslag, Fyrster og alle Jordens Dommere,
12 young men and virgins, old men with youths:
Ynglinge sammen med Jomfruer, gamle sammen med unge!
13 let them praise the name of the Lord: for his name only is exalted; his praise is above the earth and heaven,
De skal prise HERRENS Navn, thi ophøjet er hans Navn alene, hans Højhed omspænder Jord og Himmel.
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.
Han løfter et Horn for sit Folk, lovprist af alle sine fromme, af Israels Børn, det Folk, der staar ham nær. Halleluja!
