< Psalms 148 >
1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens: praise him in the heights.
Lover Herren fra Himlene, lover ham i det høje!
2 Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his host.
Lover ham, alle hans Engle! lover ham, alle hans Hærskarer!
3 Praise ye him, sun and moon; praise him, all ye stars of light.
Lover ham, Sol og Maane! lover ham, alle Lysets Stjerner!
4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens.
Lover ham, Himlenes Himle! og I Vande, som ere over Himlene!
5 Let them praise the name of the LORD: for he commanded, and they were created.
De skulle love Herrens Navn; thi han bød, og de bleve skabte.
6 He hath also stablished them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree which shall not pass away.
Og han har stillet dem hen for bestandig, evindelig; han satte dem en Lov, og den skal ikke overskrides.
7 Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps:
Lover Herren fra Jorden, I Søuhyrer og alle Dyb!
8 Fire and hail, snow and vapour; stormy wind, fulfilling his word:
Ild og Hagel, Sne og Røg og Stormvejr, som udretter hans Ord!
9 Mountains and all hills; fruitful trees and all cedars:
I Bjerge og alle Høje, Frugttræer og alle Cedre!
10 Beasts and all cattle; creeping things and flying fowl:
I vilde Dyr og alt Kvæg, Kryb og vingede Fugle!
11 Kings of the earth and all peoples; princes and all judges of the earth:
I Konger paa Jorden og alle Folk, Fyrster og alle Dommere paa Jorden!
12 Both young men and maidens; old men and children:
Unge Karle og Jomfruer tillige, de gamle med de unge!
13 Let them praise the name of the LORD; for his name alone is exalted: his glory is above the earth and heaven.
De skulle love Herrens Navn; thi hans Navn alene er ophøjet, hans Majestæt er over Jorden og Himmelen.
14 And he hath lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise ye the LORD.
Og han har ophøjet et Horn for sit Folk, han, der er en Lovsang for alle sine hellige, for Israels Børn, det Folk, der er ham nær. Halleluja!
