Psalms 148
1 Praise the LORD. Praise the LORD from the heavens. Praise him in the heights.
Halleluja! Pris Herren i himlen, pris ham i det høje!
2 Praise him, all his angels. Praise him, all his army.
Pris ham, alle hans engle, pris ham, alle hans hærskarer,
3 Praise him, sun and moon. Praise him, all you shining stars.
pris ham, sol og måne, pris ham, hver lysende stjerne,
4 Praise him, you heavens of heavens, You 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 He has also established them forever and ever. He has made a decree which will not pass away.
han gav dem deres plads for evigt, han gav en lov, som de ej overtræder!
7 Praise the LORD from the earth, you great sea creatures, and all depths.
Lad pris stige op til Herren fra jorden, I havdyr og alle dyb,
8 Lightning and hail, snow and clouds; stormy wind, fulfilling his word;
Ild og hagl, sne og røg, storm, som gør hvad han siger,
9 mountains and all hills; fruit trees and all cedars;
I bjerge og alle høje, frugttræer og alle cedre,
10 wild animals and all livestock; small creatures and flying birds;
I vilde dyr og alt kvæg, krybdyr og vingede fugle,
11 kings of the earth and all peoples; princes and all judges of the earth;
I jordens konger og alle folkeslag, fyrster og alle jordens dommere,
12 both young men and maidens; old men and children:
ynglinge sammen med jomfruer, gamle sammen med unge!
13 let them praise the name of the LORD, for his name alone is exalted. His glory is above the earth and the heavens.
De skal prise Herrens navn, thi ophøjet er hans navn alene, hans højhed omspender jord og himmel.
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.
Han løfter et horn for sit folk, lovprist af alle sine fromme, af Israels børn, det folk, der står ham nær. Halleluja!
