< Psalms 148 >
1 Praise Yahweh. Praise Yahweh, you in the heavens; praise him, you in the heights.
Halleluja! Pris Herren i himlen, pris ham i det høje!
2 Praise him, all his angels; praise him, all his hosts.
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, highest heaven and you waters that are above the sky.
pris ham, himlenes himle og vandene over himlene!
5 Let them praise the name of Yahweh, for he gave the command, 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 issued a decree that will never change.
han gav dem deres plads for evigt, han gav en lov, som de ej overtræder!
7 Praise him from the earth, you sea monsters and all ocean depths,
Lad pris stige op til Herren fra jorden, I havdyr og alle dyb,
8 fire and hail, snow and clouds, stormy wind fulfilling his word.
Ild og hagl, sne og røg, storm, som gør hvad han siger,
9 Praise him, mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars,
I bjerge og alle høje, frugttræer og alle cedre,
10 animals wild and tame, creatures that crawl and birds.
I vilde dyr og alt kvæg, krybdyr og vingede fugle,
11 Praise Yahweh, kings of the earth and all nations, princes and all who govern on the earth,
I jordens konger og alle folkeslag, fyrster og alle jordens dommere,
12 both young men and young women, elderly and children.
ynglinge sammen med jomfruer, gamle sammen med unge!
13 Let them all praise the name of Yahweh, for his name alone is exalted and his glory extends over 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 for praise from all his faithful ones, the Israelites, the people near to him. Praise Yahweh.
Han løfter et horn for sit folk, lovprist af alle sine fromme, af Israels børn, det folk, der står ham nær. Halleluja!
