< Psalms 148 >
1 Praise the LORD. Praise the LORD from the heavens. Praise him in the heights.
Aleluja! Hvalite Jahvu s nebesa, hvalite ga u visinama!
2 Praise him, all his angels. Praise him, all his army.
Hvalite ga, svi anđeli njegovi, hvalite ga, sve vojske njegove!
3 Praise him, sun and moon. Praise him, all you shining stars.
Hvalite ga, sunce i mjeseče, hvalite ga, sve zvijezde svjetlosne!
4 Praise him, you heavens of heavens, You waters that are above the heavens.
Hvalite ga, nebesa nebeska, i vode nad svodom nebeskim!
5 Let them praise the name of the LORD, For he commanded, and they were created.
Neka hvale ime Jahvino jer on zapovjedi i postadoše.
6 He has also established them forever and ever. He has made a decree which will not pass away.
Postavi ih zauvijek i dovijeka po zakonu koji neće proći.
7 Praise the LORD from the earth, you great sea creatures, and all depths.
Hvalite Jahvu sa zemlje, nemani morske i svi bezdani!
8 Lightning and hail, snow and clouds; stormy wind, fulfilling his word;
Ognju i grÓade, sniježe i maglo, olujni vjetre, što riječ njegovu izvršavaš!
9 mountains and all hills; fruit trees and all cedars;
Gore i svi brežuljci, plodonosna stabla i svi cedrovi!
10 wild animals and all livestock; small creatures and flying birds;
Zvijeri i sve životinje, gmizavci i ptice krilate!
11 kings of the earth and all peoples; princes and all judges of the earth;
Zemaljski kraljevi i svi narodi, knezovi i suci zemaljski!
12 both young men and maidens; old men and children:
Mladići i djevojke, starci s djecom zajedno:
13 let them praise the name of the LORD, for his name alone is exalted. His glory is above the earth and the heavens.
nek' svi hvale ime Jahvino, jer jedino je njegovo ime uzvišeno! Njegovo veličanstvo zemlju i nebo nadvisuje,
14 He has lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his faithful ones; even of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise the LORD.
on podiže snagu svom narodu, on proslavlja svete svoje, sinove Izraelove - narod njemu blizak. Aleluja!
