< Psalms 148 >

1 Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD from the heavens! Praise him in the heights!
Halleluja. Lofver, I himlar, Herran; lofver honom i höjdene.
2 Praise him, all his angels! Praise him, all his army!
Lofver honom, alle hans Änglar; lofver honom, all hans här.
3 Praise him, sun and moon! Praise him, all you shining stars!
Lofver honom, sol och måne; lofver honom, alla skinande stjernor.
4 Praise him, you heavens of heavens, you waters that are above the heavens.
Lofver honom, I himlar, allt omkring, och de vatten, som ofvan himmelen äro.
5 Let them praise the LORD’s name, for he commanded, and they were created.
De skola lofva Herrans Namn; ty han bjuder, så varder det skapadt.
6 He has also established them forever and ever. He has made a decree which will not pass away.
Han håller dem alltid och evinnerliga; han skickar dem, att de icke annorlunda gå måste.
7 Praise the LORD from the earth, you great sea creatures, and all depths,
Lofver Herran på jordene; I hvalfiskar och all djup;
8 lightning and hail, snow and clouds, stormy wind, fulfilling his word,
Eld, hagel, snö och dimba, stormväder, de hans ord uträtta;
9 mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars,
Berg, och alle högar; fruktsam trä, och alle cedrer;
10 wild animals and all livestock, small creatures and flying birds,
Djur och all fänad; krypande djur, och foglar.
11 kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all judges of the earth,
I Konungar på jordene, och all folk; Förstar, och alle domare på jordene;
12 both young men and maidens, old men and children.
Ynglingar och jungfrur; de gamle med de unga;
13 Let them praise the LORD’s name, for his name alone is exalted. His glory is above the earth and the heavens.
Skolen lofva Herrans Namn; ty hans Namn allena är högt; hans lof går så vidt som himmel och jord är.
14 He has lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints, even of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise the LORD!
Och han upphöjer sins folks horn; alle hans helige skola lofva, Israels barn, det folk, som honom tjenar. Halleluja.
