Psalms 148
1 Alleluia. Praise the Lord from the heavens. Praise him on the heights.
Halleluja! Pris Herren i himlen, pris ham i det høje!
2 Praise him, all his Angels. Praise him, all his hosts.
Pris ham, alle hans engle, pris ham, alle hans hærskarer,
3 Praise him, sun and moon. Praise him, all stars and light.
pris ham, sol og måne, pris ham, hver lysende stjerne,
4 Praise him, heavens of the heavens. And let all the waters that are above the heavens
pris ham, himlenes himle og vandene over himlene!
5 praise the name of the Lord. For he spoke, and they became. He commanded, and they were created.
De skal prise Herrens navn, thi han bød, og de blev skabt;
6 He has stationed them in eternity, and for age after age. He has established a precept, and it will 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 dragons and all deep places,
Lad pris stige op til Herren fra jorden, I havdyr og alle dyb,
8 fire, hail, snow, ice, windstorms, which do 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, serpents and feathered flying things,
I vilde dyr og alt kvæg, krybdyr og vingede fugle,
11 kings of the earth and all peoples, leaders and all judges of the earth,
I jordens konger og alle folkeslag, fyrster og alle jordens dommere,
12 young men and virgins. Let the older men with the younger men, praise the name of the Lord.
ynglinge sammen med jomfruer, gamle sammen med unge!
13 For his name alone is exalted.
De skal prise Herrens navn, thi ophøjet er hans navn alene, hans højhed omspender jord og himmel.
14 Confession of him is beyond heaven and earth, and he has exalted the horn of his people. A hymn to all his holy ones, to the sons of Israel, to a people close to him. Alleluia.
Han løfter et horn for sit folk, lovprist af alle sine fromme, af Israels børn, det folk, der står ham nær. Halleluja!
