< Psalms 148 >
1 Alleluia, [a Psalm] of Aggaeus and Zacharias. Praise you the Lord from the heavens: praise him in the highest.
Haleluya! Pujilah TUHAN di sorga, pujilah Dia di tempat tinggi!
2 Praise you him, all his angels: praise you him, all his hosts.
Pujilah Dia, hai segala malaikat-Nya, pujilah Dia, hai segala tentara-Nya!
3 Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all you stars and light.
Pujilah Dia, hai matahari dan bulan, pujilah Dia, hai segala bintang terang!
4 Praise him, you heavens of heavens, and the water that is above the heavens.
Pujilah Dia, hai langit yang mengatasi segala langit, hai air yang di atas langit!
5 Let them praise the name of the Lord: for he spoke, and they were made; he commanded, and they were created.
Baiklah semuanya memuji nama TUHAN, sebab Dia memberi perintah, maka semuanya tercipta.
6 He has established them for ever, even for ever and ever: he has made an ordinance, and it shall not pass away.
Dia mendirikan semuanya untuk seterusnya dan selamanya, dan memberi ketetapan yang tidak dapat dilanggar.
7 Praise the Lord from the earth, you serpents, and all deeps.
Pujilah TUHAN di bumi, hai ular-ular naga dan segenap samudera raya;
8 Fire, hail, snow, ice, stormy wind; the things that perform his word.
hai api dan hujan es, salju dan kabut, angin badai yang melakukan firman-Nya;
9 Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars:
hai gunung-gunung dan segala bukit, pohon buah-buahan dan segala pohon aras:
10 wild beasts, and all cattle; reptiles, and winged birds:
hai binatang-binatang liar dan segala hewan, binatang melata dan burung-burung yang bersayap;
11 kings of the earth, and all peoples; princes, and all judges of the earth:
hai raja-raja di bumi dan segala bangsa, pembesar-pembesar dan semua pemerintah dunia;
12 young men and virgins, old men with youths:
hai teruna dan anak-anak dara, orang tua dan orang muda!
13 let them praise the name of the Lord: for his name only is exalted; his praise is above the earth and heaven,
Biarlah semuanya memuji-muji TUHAN, sebab hanya nama-Nya saja yang tinggi luhur, keagungan-Nya mengatasi bumi dan langit.
14 and he shall exalt the horn of his people, [there is] a hymn for all his saints, [even] of the children of Israel, a people who draw near to him.
Ia telah meninggikan tanduk umat-Nya, menjadi puji-pujian bagi semua orang yang dikasihi-Nya, bagi orang Israel, umat yang dekat pada-Nya. Haleluya!
