< Psalms 148 >
1 Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD from the heavens! Praise him in the heights!
Aleluja! Hvalite Gospoda, nebeščani, hvalite ga v višavah.
2 Praise him, all his angels! Praise him, all his army!
Hvalite ga vsi angeli njegovi, hvalite ga vse vojske njegove.
3 Praise him, sun and moon! Praise him, all you shining stars!
Hvalita ga solnce in mesec; hvalite ga vse svetle zvezde.
4 Praise him, you heavens of heavens, you waters that are above the heavens.
Hvalite ga nebes nebésa, in vode, katere so nad tem nebom.
5 Let them praise the LORD’s name, for he commanded, and they were created.
Hvali naj ime Gospodovo, kar je na povelje njegovo ustvarjeno bilo takoj.
6 He has also established them forever and ever. He has made a decree which will not pass away.
Kar je ustanovil vekomaj, na veke; dal je zapoved, katere naj nobeno ne prestopi.
7 Praise the LORD from the earth, you great sea creatures, and all depths,
Hvalite Gospoda, zemeljske stvari; zmaji in brezna vsa.
8 lightning and hail, snow and clouds, stormy wind, fulfilling his word,
Ogenj in toča, sneg in sopara, veter viharni spolnjujoč besedo njegovo.
9 mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars,
Same gore in hribi, drevesa rodovitna, cedre vse;
10 wild animals and all livestock, small creatures and flying birds,
Same zveri in živina vsa, laznina in tiči krilati.
11 kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all judges of the earth,
Kralji zemeljski in narodi vsi; knezi in vsi zemljé sodniki.
12 both young men and maidens, old men and children.
Mladeniči in tudi device, starci z dečki
13 Let them praise the LORD’s name, for his name alone is exalted. His glory is above the earth and the heavens.
Hvalijo naj ime Gospodovo, ker vzvišeno je njega samega ime; lepota njegova nad zemljo in nebo.
14 He has lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his holy ones, even of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise the LORD!
In rog povišuje svojemu ljudstvu, hvalo vseh, katere sprejema prijazno, Izraelcev, ljudstva bližnjega njemu. Aleluja!
