Psalms 148
1 Alleluia. Praise the Lord from the heavens. Praise him on the heights.
Halleluja! Lova Herren frå himmelen, lova honom i det høge!
2 Praise him, all his Angels. Praise him, all his hosts.
Lova honom, alle hans englar, lova honom, all hans her!
3 Praise him, sun and moon. Praise him, all stars and light.
Lova honom, sol og måne, lova honom, alle lysande stjernor!
4 Praise him, heavens of the heavens. And let all the waters that are above the heavens
Lova honom, de himle-himlar, og de vatn ovanfor himlarne!
5 praise the name of the Lord. For he spoke, and they became. He commanded, and they were created.
Dei skal lova Herrens namn, for han baud, og dei vart skapte,
6 He has stationed them in eternity, and for age after age. He has established a precept, and it will 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 dragons and all deep places,
Lova Herren frå jordi, de store sjødyr og alle djup,
8 fire, hail, snow, ice, windstorms, which do 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, serpents and feathered flying things,
de ville dyr og alt fe, krekande dyr og fljugande fuglar;
11 kings of the earth and all peoples, leaders 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. Let the older men with the younger men, praise the name of the Lord.
de unge gutar og gjentor, de gamle med dei unge!
13 For his name alone is exalted.
Dei skal lova Herrens namn, for berre hans namn er høgt, hans herlegdom er yver 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.
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!
