Psalms 148
1 Hallelujah! Praise Jehovah from the heavens; praise him in the heights.
Halleluja! Pris HERREN i Himlen, pris ham i det høje!
2 Praise ye him, all his angels; praise ye him, all his hosts.
Pris ham, alle hans Engle, pris ham, alle hans Hærskarer,
3 Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all ye stars of light.
pris ham, Sol og Maane, pris ham, hver lysende Stjerne,
4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that are above the heavens.
pris ham, Himlenes Himle og Vandene over Himlene!
5 Let them praise the name of Jehovah, for he it is that commanded, and they were created:
De skal prise HERRENS Navn, thi han bød, og de blev skabt;
6 And he established them for ever and ever; he made [for them] a statute which shall not pass.
han gav dem deres Plads for evigt, han gav en Lov, som de ej overtræder!
7 Praise Jehovah from the earth, ye sea-monsters, and all deeps;
Lad Pris stige op til HERREN fra Jorden, I Havdyr og alle Dyb,
8 Fire and hail, snow and vapour, stormy wind fulfilling his word;
Ild og Hagl, Sne og Røg, Storm, som gør, hvad han siger,
9 Mountains and all hills, fruit-trees and all cedars;
I Bjerge og alle Høje, Frugttræer og alle Cedre,
10 Beasts and all cattle, creeping things and winged fowl;
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 Both young men and maidens, old men with youths, —
Ynglinge sammen med Jomfruer, gamle sammen med unge!
13 Let them praise the name of Jehovah: for his name alone is exalted; his majesty is above the earth and the heavens.
De skal prise HERRENS Navn, thi ophøjet er hans Navn alene, hans Højhed omspænder Jord og Himmel.
14 And he hath lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints, [even] of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Hallelujah!
Han løfter et Horn for sit Folk, lovprist af alle sine fromme, af Israels Børn, det Folk, der staar ham nær. Halleluja!
