Psalms 148
1 Praise ye the LORD. 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 host.
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 måne, pris ham, hver lysende stjerne,
4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be 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 hath also stablished them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree which shall 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, ye dragons, and all deeps:
Lad pris stige op til Herren fra jorden, I havdyr og alle dyb,
8 Fire and hail, snow and vapour; stormy wind, fulfilling his word:
Ild og hagl, sne og røg, storm, som gør hvad han siger,
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, 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 heaven.
De skal prise Herrens navn, thi ophøjet er hans navn alene, hans højhed omspender jord og himmel.
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.
Han løfter et horn for sit folk, lovprist af alle sine fromme, af Israels børn, det folk, der står ham nær. Halleluja!
