< Psalms 148 >
1 Praise ye the Lord from the heavens: praise ye him in the high places.
Aleluja! Hvalite Gospoda, nebeščani, hvalite ga v višavah.
2 Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.
Hvalite ga vsi angeli njegovi, hvalite ga vse vojske njegove.
3 Praise ye him, O sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars and light.
Hvalita ga solnce in mesec; hvalite ga vse svetle zvezde.
4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens: and let all the waters that are above the heavens
Hvalite ga nebes nebésa, in vode, katere so nad tem nebom.
5 Praise the name of the Lord. For he spoke, and they were made: he commanded, and they were created.
Hvali naj ime Gospodovo, kar je na povelje njegovo ustvarjeno bilo takoj.
6 He hath established them for ever, and for ages of ages: he hath made a decree, and it shall not pass away.
Kar je ustanovil vekomaj, na veke; dal je zapoved, katere naj nobeno ne prestopi.
7 Praise the Lord from the earth, ye dragons, and all ye deeps:
Hvalite Gospoda, zemeljske stvari; zmaji in brezna vsa.
8 Fire, hail, snow, ice, stormy winds which fulfill his word:
Ogenj in toča, sneg in sopara, veter viharni spolnjujoč besedo njegovo.
9 Mountains and all hills, fruitful trees and all cedars:
Same gore in hribi, drevesa rodovitna, cedre vse;
10 Beasts and all cattle: serpents and feathered fowls:
Same zveri in živina vsa, laznina in tiči krilati.
11 Kings of the earth and all people: princes and all judges of the earth:
Kralji zemeljski in narodi vsi; knezi in vsi zemljé sodniki.
12 Young men and maidens: let the old with the younger, praise the name of the Lord:
Mladeniči in tudi device, starci z dečki
13 For his name alone is exalted.
Hvalijo naj ime Gospodovo, ker vzvišeno je njega samega ime; lepota njegova nad zemljo in nebo.
14 The praise of him is above heaven and earth: and he hath exalted the horn of his people. A hymn to all his saints: to the children of Israel, a people approaching to him. Alleluia.
In rog povišuje svojemu ljudstvu, hvalo vseh, katere sprejema prijazno, Izraelcev, ljudstva bližnjega njemu. Aleluja!
