Psalms 148
1 Alleluia, [a Psalm] of Aggaeus and Zacharias. Praise you the Lord from the heavens: praise him in the highest.
Halleluja! Lova Herren frå himmelen, lova honom i det høge!
2 Praise you him, all his angels: praise you him, all his hosts.
Lova honom, alle hans englar, lova honom, all hans her!
3 Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all you stars and light.
Lova honom, sol og måne, lova honom, alle lysande stjernor!
4 Praise him, you heavens of heavens, and the water that is above the heavens.
Lova honom, de himle-himlar, og de vatn ovanfor himlarne!
5 Let them praise the name of the Lord: for he spoke, and they were made; he commanded, and they were created.
Dei skal lova Herrens namn, for han baud, og dei vart skapte,
6 He has established them for ever, even for ever and ever: he has made an ordinance, and it shall not pass away.
og han stelte deim upp for alltid og æveleg, han gav ei lov som ingen bryt.
7 Praise the Lord from the earth, you serpents, and all deeps.
Lova Herren frå jordi, de store sjødyr og alle djup,
8 Fire, hail, snow, ice, stormy wind; the things that perform his word.
Eld og hagl, snø og eim, du storm som set hans ord i verk,
9 Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars:
de fjell og alle haugar, aldetre og alle cedrar,
10 wild beasts, and all cattle; reptiles, and winged birds:
de ville dyr og alt fe, krekande dyr og fljugande fuglar;
11 kings of the earth, and all peoples; princes, and all judges of the earth:
de kongar på jordi og alle folk, de hovdingar og alle domarar på jordi,
12 young men and virgins, old men with youths:
de unge gutar og gjentor, de gamle med dei unge!
13 let them praise the name of the Lord: for his name only is exalted; his praise is above the earth and heaven,
Dei skal lova Herrens namn, for berre hans namn er høgt, hans herlegdom er yver 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.
og han hev lyft upp eit horn for sitt folk, til ein lovsong for alle sine trugne, for Israels born, det folk som er honom nær. Halleluja!
