Psalms 148

1 Hallelujah. Praise ye the Lord from the heavens: praise him in the heights.

Halleluja! Pris HERREN i Himlen, pris ham i det høje!

2 Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.

Pris ham, alle hans Engle, pris ham, alle hans Hærskarer,

3 Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light.

pris ham, Sol og Maane, pris ham, hver lysende Stjerne,

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

pris ham, Himlenes Himle og Vandene over Himlene!

5 Let them praise the name of the Lord; for he commanded and they were created.

De skal prise HERRENS Navn, thi han bød, og de blev skabt;

6 And he established them for ever and to eternity: he gave a decree which none shall transgress.

han gav dem deres Plads for evigt, han gav en Lov, som de ej overtræder!

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

Lad Pris stige op til HERREN fra Jorden, I Havdyr og alle Dyb,

8 Fire, and hail, snow, and vapor; thou storm-wind that fulfillest his word;

Ild og Hagl, Sne og Røg, Storm, som gør, hvad han siger,

9 Ye mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars;

I Bjerge og alle Høje, Frugttræer og alle Cedre,

10 Ye beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and winged birds;

I vilde Dyr og alt Kvæg, Krybdyr og vingede Fugle,

11 Ye kings of the earth, and all nations; ye princes, and all judges of the earth;

I Jordens Konger og alle Folkeslag, Fyrster og alle Jordens Dommere,

12 Young men and also virgins; old men, together with boys: —

Ynglinge sammen med Jomfruer, gamle sammen med unge!

13 Let them praise the name of the Lord; for his name alone is exalted; his majesty is above earth and heaven.

De skal prise HERRENS Navn, thi ophøjet er hans Navn alene, hans Højhed omspænder Jord og Himmel.

14 He also exalteth the horn of his people, a praise unto all his pious servants, [even] unto the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Hallelujah.

Han løfter et Horn for sit Folk, lovprist af alle sine fromme, af Israels Børn, det Folk, der staar ham nær. Halleluja!
