Psalms 148
1 Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord from heaven; praise him in the heights above!
Halleluja! Pris Herren i himlen, pris ham i det høje!
2 Praise him, all his angels; praise him, all his heavenly armies!
Pris ham, alle hans engle, pris ham, alle hans hærskarer,
3 Praise him, sun and moon! Praise him, all you shining stars!
pris ham, sol og måne, pris ham, hver lysende stjerne,
4 Praise him, highest heavens, and the waters above the heavens!
pris ham, himlenes himle og vandene over himlene!
5 Let them all praise the Lord and his nature, for he gave the order and they were created.
De skal prise Herrens navn, thi han bød, og de blev skabt;
6 He placed them in their positions forever and ever; he established a law that will never end.
han gav dem deres plads for evigt, han gav en lov, som de ej overtræder!
7 Praise the Lord from the earth, and creatures from all the depths of the seas,
Lad pris stige op til Herren fra jorden, I havdyr og alle dyb,
8 lightning and hail, snow and clouds, and stormy wind—everything that does as he commands.
Ild og hagl, sne og røg, storm, som gør hvad han siger,
9 Mountains and all the hills, fruit trees and all the trees of the forest,
I bjerge og alle høje, frugttræer og alle cedre,
10 wild animals and all livestock, crawling animals and wild birds,
I vilde dyr og alt kvæg, krybdyr og vingede fugle,
11 earthly kings and all peoples, leaders and rulers of the world,
I jordens konger og alle folkeslag, fyrster og alle jordens dommere,
12 young men and women, old people and children—
ynglinge sammen med jomfruer, gamle sammen med unge!
13 Let them all praise the Lord, for his reputation is unequalled; his glory is above anything on earth or in heaven.
De skal prise Herrens navn, thi ophøjet er hans navn alene, hans højhed omspender jord og himmel.
14 He has given his people a source of strength, bringing praise to his faithful followers, the people of Israel who are dear to him. Praise the Lord!
Han løfter et horn for sit folk, lovprist af alle sine fromme, af Israels børn, det folk, der står ham nær. Halleluja!
