< Psalms 148 >
1 Praise Yah! Praise Yahweh from the heavens! Praise him in the heights!
αλληλουια Αγγαιου καὶ Ζαχαριου αἰνεῖτε τὸν κύριον ἐκ τῶν οὐρανῶν αἰνεῖτε αὐτὸν ἐν τοῖς ὑψίστοις
2 Praise him, all his angels! Praise him, all his army!
αἰνεῖτε αὐτόν πάντες οἱ ἄγγελοι αὐτοῦ αἰνεῖτε αὐτόν πᾶσαι αἱ δυνάμεις αὐτοῦ
3 Praise him, sun and moon! Praise him, all you shining stars!
αἰνεῖτε αὐτόν ἥλιος καὶ σελήνη αἰνεῖτε αὐτόν πάντα τὰ ἄστρα καὶ τὸ φῶς
4 Praise him, you heavens of heavens, you waters that are above the heavens.
αἰνεῖτε αὐτόν οἱ οὐρανοὶ τῶν οὐρανῶν καὶ τὸ ὕδωρ τὸ ὑπεράνω τῶν οὐρανῶν
5 Let them praise Yahweh’s name, for he commanded, and they were created.
αἰνεσάτωσαν τὸ ὄνομα κυρίου ὅτι αὐτὸς εἶπεν καὶ ἐγενήθησαν αὐτὸς ἐνετείλατο καὶ ἐκτίσθησαν
6 He has also established them forever and ever. He has made a decree which will not pass away.
ἔστησεν αὐτὰ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα καὶ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος πρόσταγμα ἔθετο καὶ οὐ παρελεύσεται
7 Praise Yahweh from the earth, you great sea creatures, and all depths,
αἰνεῖτε τὸν κύριον ἐκ τῆς γῆς δράκοντες καὶ πᾶσαι ἄβυσσοι
8 lightning and hail, snow and clouds, stormy wind, fulfilling his word,
πῦρ χάλαζα χιών κρύσταλλος πνεῦμα καταιγίδος τὰ ποιοῦντα τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ
9 mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars,
τὰ ὄρη καὶ πάντες οἱ βουνοί ξύλα καρποφόρα καὶ πᾶσαι κέδροι
10 wild animals and all livestock, small creatures and flying birds,
τὰ θηρία καὶ πάντα τὰ κτήνη ἑρπετὰ καὶ πετεινὰ πτερωτά
11 kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all judges of the earth,
βασιλεῖς τῆς γῆς καὶ πάντες λαοί ἄρχοντες καὶ πάντες κριταὶ γῆς
12 both young men and maidens, old men and children.
νεανίσκοι καὶ παρθένοι πρεσβῦται μετὰ νεωτέρων
13 Let them praise Yahweh’s name, for his name alone is exalted. His glory is above the earth and the heavens.
αἰνεσάτωσαν τὸ ὄνομα κυρίου ὅτι ὑψώθη τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ μόνου ἡ ἐξομολόγησις αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ γῆς καὶ οὐρανοῦ
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 Yah!
καὶ ὑψώσει κέρας λαοῦ αὐτοῦ ὕμνος πᾶσι τοῖς ὁσίοις αὐτοῦ τοῖς υἱοῖς Ισραηλ λαῷ ἐγγίζοντι αὐτῷ
