Psalms 148

1 Praise ye the Lord. Praise ye the Lord from the heauen: prayse ye him in the high places.

亞肋路亞！請您們在天上讚美上主，請您們在高處讚美上主！

2 Prayse ye him, all ye his Angels: praise him, all his armie.

上主的眾天使，請讚美上主；上主的一切聖者，請讚美上主！

3 Prayse ye him, sunne and moone: prayse ye him all bright starres.

太陽和月亮，請讚美上主；燦爛的諸星，請讚美上主！

4 Prayse ye him, heauens of heauens, and waters, that be aboue the heauens.

天上的諸天，請讚美上主；天上的雨水，請讚美上主！

5 Let them prayse the Name of the Lord: for he commanded, and they were created.

願它們齊來讚美上主的名號！因為上主一命令，它們立刻受造。

6 And he hath established them for euer and euer: he hath made an ordinance, which shall not passe.

他確定的位置，留至永恒，他頒部的規律，永不變更。

7 Prayse ye the Lord from the earth, ye dragons and all depths:

請您們在地上讚美上主：海怪和海深處的眾水族，

8 Fire and hayle, snowe and vapours, stormie winde, which execute his worde:

還有電火與冰雹，白雪和雲霧，以及遵行他命令的狂風暴雨。

9 Mountaines and all hils, fruitfull trees and all ceders:

山岳和一切丘陵，果樹與各種柏松，

10 Beasts and all cattell, creeping things and fethered foules:

野獸和一切畜牲，各種爬蟲和鳥類，

11 Kings of the earth and all people, princes and all iudges of the worlde:

世上的列王和萬民，地上的元首與公卿，

12 Yong men and maidens, also olde men and children:

少年人和童貞女，老年人與兒童侶，

13 Let them prayse the Name of the Lord: for his Name onely is to be exalted, and his prayse aboue the earth and the heauens.

請您們讚美上主的名字，因為只有他的名字高貴，他的尊嚴遠遠超越天地，

14 For he hath exalted the horne of his people, which is a prayse for all his Saintes, euen for the children of Israel, a people that is neere vnto him. Prayse ye the Lord.

上主使自己百姓的頭角高聳，他是他自己一切聖徒的讚頌，即接近他的以色列民的光榮。
