< Psalms 148 >
1 PRAISE ye the Lord. Praise ye the Lord from the heavens: praise him in the heights.
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, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light.
Hvalita ga solnce in mesec; hvalite ga vse svetle zvezde.
4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens.
Hvalite ga nebes nebésa, in vode, katere so nad tem nebom.
5 Let them praise the name of the Lord: for he commanded, and they were created.
Hvali naj ime Gospodovo, kar je na povelje njegovo ustvarjeno bilo takoj.
6 He hath also stablished them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree which shall not pass.
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 deeps:
Hvalite Gospoda, zemeljske stvari; zmaji in brezna vsa.
8 Fire, and hail; snow, and vapour; stormy wind fulfilling 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; creeping things, and flying fowl:
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 Both young men, and maidens; old men, and children:
Mladeniči in tudi device, starci z dečki
13 Let them praise the name of the Lord: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven.
Hvalijo naj ime Gospodovo, ker vzvišeno je njega samega ime; lepota njegova nad zemljo in nebo.
14 He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise ye the Lord.
In rog povišuje svojemu ljudstvu, hvalo vseh, katere sprejema prijazno, Izraelcev, ljudstva bližnjega njemu. Aleluja!
