< Psalms 148 >
1 Praise you the LORD. Praise you the LORD from the heavens: praise him in the heights.
Pujilah TUHAN! Pujilah TUHAN, hai seisi surga! Semua yang tinggal di tempat tinggi, pujilah Dia!
2 Praise you him, all his angels: praise you him, all his hosts.
Pujilah Dia, hai semua malaikat-Nya, pujilah Dia, hai seluruh tentara surga!
3 Praise you him, sun and moon: praise him, all you stars of light.
Pujilah Dia, hai matahari dan bulan, pujilah Dia, hai bintang-bintang yang gemerlapan!
4 Praise him, you heavens of heavens, and you waters that be above the heavens.
Pujilah Dia, hai langit yang tertinggi, pujilah Dia, hai air di atas langit!
5 Let them praise the name of the LORD: for he commanded, and they were created.
Baiklah mereka semua memuji nama TUHAN, sebab semuanya dijadikan atas perintah-Nya.
6 He has also established them for ever and ever: he has made a decree which shall not pass.
Ia menentukan tempatnya masing-masing, ketetapan-Nya berlaku untuk selama-lamanya.
7 Praise the LORD from the earth, you dragons, and all deeps:
Pujilah TUHAN, hai seisi bumi, hai naga-naga laut dan seluruh samudra raya;
8 Fire, and hail; snow, and vapors; stormy wind fulfilling his word:
hai kilat dan hujan es, salju dan awan, angin kencang yang menurut perintah TUHAN!
9 Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars:
Pujilah Dia, hai bukit-bukit dan gunung-gunung, pohon buah-buahan dan semua hutan;
10 Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying fowl:
semua ternak dan binatang liar, segala binatang melata dan burung!
11 Kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges of the earth:
Pujilah Dia, hai raja-raja dan segala bangsa, para bangsawan dan semua penguasa;
12 Both young men, and maidens; old men, and children:
semua pemuda dan pemudi, orang tua dan orang muda.
13 Let them praise the name of the LORD: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven.
Baiklah mereka semua memuji nama TUHAN, sebab nama-Nya lebih agung dari segala nama; keagungan-Nya mengatasi langit dan bumi.
14 He also exalts the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise you the LORD.
Ia telah menguatkan bangsa-Nya, sehingga Ia dipuji-puji umat-Nya, Israel, umat kesayangan-Nya. Pujilah TUHAN!
