Psalms 148

1 Praise Yahweh! Praise him, from up in heaven; praise him from way up in the sky!

亞肋路亞！請您們在天上讚美上主，請您們在高處讚美上主！

2 All you angels who belong to him, praise him! All you who are in the armies of heaven, praise him!

上主的眾天使，請讚美上主；上主的一切聖者，請讚美上主！

3 Sun and moon, [you also] praise him! You shining stars, you praise him!

太陽和月亮，請讚美上主；燦爛的諸星，請讚美上主！

4 You highest heavens, praise him! And you waters that are high above the sky, praise him!

天上的諸天，請讚美上主；天上的雨水，請讚美上主！

5 I want [all of] these to praise Yahweh [MTY] because by commanding [them to exist], he created them.

願它們齊來讚美上主的名號！因為上主一命令，它們立刻受造。

6 He determined the places where they should be [in the sky], and he commanded that they should be there forever. They cannot disobey that command!

他確定的位置，留至永恒，他頒部的規律，永不變更。

7 And everything on the earth, praise Yahweh! You [huge] sea monsters and [everything else that is] deep [in the ocean],

請您們在地上讚美上主：海怪和海深處的眾水族，

8 and fire and hail, and snow and frost, and strong winds that obey what he commands, [I tell] all of you to praise Yahweh!

還有電火與冰雹，白雪和雲霧，以及遵行他命令的狂風暴雨。

9 Hills and mountains, fruit trees and cedar [trees],

山岳和一切丘陵，果樹與各種柏松，

10 all the wild animals and all [you] cattle, and the (reptiles/creatures that scurry across the ground), and [all] the birds, [I tell all of them to praise Yahweh]!

野獸和一切畜牲，各種爬蟲和鳥類，

11 You kings on this earth and all the people [that you rule], you princes and all [other] rulers,

世上的列王和萬民，地上的元首與公卿，

12 you young men and young women, you old people and children, [everyone, praise Yahweh!]

少年人和童貞女，老年人與兒童侶，

13 I want them [all] to praise Yahweh [MTY] because he is greater than anyone else. His glory is greater than [anything on] the earth or [in] heaven.

請您們讚美上主的名字，因為只有他的名字高貴，他的尊嚴遠遠超越天地，

14 He caused us, his people, to be strong in order that we, his people, we Israeli people (who are very precious to him/whom he loves very much), would praise him. So praise Yahweh!

上主使自己百姓的頭角高聳，他是他自己一切聖徒的讚頌，即接近他的以色列民的光榮。
