Psalms 148

1 Praise YAH! Praise YHWH from the heavens, Praise Him in high places.

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

2 Praise Him, all His messengers, Praise Him, all His hosts.

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

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

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

4 Praise Him, heavens of heavens, And you waters that are above the heavens.

pris ham, Himlenes Himle og Vandene over Himlene!

5 They praise the Name of YHWH, For He commanded, and they were created.

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

6 And He establishes them forever and for all time, He gave a statute, and they do not pass over.

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

7 Praise YHWH from the earth, Dragons and all deeps,

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

8 Fire and hail, snow and vapor, Whirlwind doing His word;

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

9 The mountains and all heights, Fruit tree, and all cedars,

I Bjerge og alle Høje, Frugttræer og alle Cedre,

10 The wild beast, and all livestock, Creeping thing, and winged bird,

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

11 Kings of earth, and all peoples, Chiefs, and all judges of earth,

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

12 Young men, and also maidens, Aged men, with youths,

Ynglinge sammen med Jomfruer, gamle sammen med unge!

13 They praise the Name of YHWH, For His Name alone has been set on high, His splendor [is] above earth and heavens.

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

14 And He exalts the horn of His people, The praise of all His saints, Of the sons of Israel, A people near Him. Praise YAH!

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