Psalms 148

1 Hallelujah. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens; praise Him in the heights.

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 Praise ye Him, all His angels; praise ye Him, all His hosts.

上主的眾天使，請讚美上主；上主的一切聖者，請讚美上主！

3 Praise ye Him, sun and moon; praise Him, all ye stars of light.

太陽和月亮，請讚美上主；燦爛的諸星，請讚美上主！

4 Praise Him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that are above the heavens.

天上的諸天，請讚美上主；天上的雨水，請讚美上主！

5 Let them praise 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 He hath also established them for ever and ever; He hath made a decree which shall not be transgressed.

他確定的位置，留至永恒，他頒部的規律，永不變更。

7 Praise the LORD from the earth, ye sea-monsters, and all deeps;

請您們在地上讚美上主：海怪和海深處的眾水族，

8 Fire and hail, snow and vapour, stormy wind, fulfilling His word;

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 Mountains and all hills, fruitful trees and all cedars;

山岳和一切丘陵，果樹與各種柏松，

10 Beasts and all cattle, creeping things and winged fowl;

野獸和一切畜牲，各種爬蟲和鳥類，

11 Kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all judges of the earth;

世上的列王和萬民，地上的元首與公卿，

12 Both young men and maidens, old men and children;

少年人和童貞女，老年人與兒童侶，

13 Let them praise the name of the LORD, for His name alone is exalted; His glory is above the earth and heaven.

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 And He hath lifted up a horn for His people, a praise for all His saints, even for the children of Israel, a people near unto Him. Hallelujah.

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。
