Psalms 148

1 Praise ye Jah! Praise ye Jehovah from the heavens, Praise ye Him in high places.

Halleluja! Pris Herren i himlen, pris ham i det høje!

2 Praise ye Him, all His messengers, Praise ye Him, all His hosts.

Pris ham, alle hans engle, pris ham, alle hans hærskarer,

3 Praise ye Him, sun and moon, Praise ye Him, all stars of light.

pris ham, sol og måne, pris ham, hver lysende stjerne,

4 Praise ye Him, heavens of heavens, And ye waters that are above the heavens.

pris ham, himlenes himle og vandene over himlene!

5 They do praise the name of Jehovah, For He commanded, and they were created.

De skal prise Herrens navn, thi han bød, og de blev skabt;

6 And He establisheth them for ever to the age, A statute He gave, and they pass not over.

han gav dem deres plads for evigt, han gav en lov, som de ej overtræder!

7 Praise ye Jehovah from the earth, Dragons and all deeps,

Lad pris stige op til Herren fra jorden, I havdyr og alle dyb,

8 Fire and hail, snow and vapour, Whirlwind doing His word;

Ild og hagl, sne og røg, storm, som gør hvad han siger,

9 The mountains and all heights, Fruit tree, and all cedars,

I bjerge og alle høje, frugttræer og alle cedre,

10 The wild beast, and all cattle, Creeping thing, and winged bird,

I vilde dyr og alt kvæg, krybdyr og vingede fugle,

11 Kings of earth, and all peoples, Chiefs, and all judges of earth,

I jordens konger og alle folkeslag, fyrster og alle jordens dommere,

12 Young men, and also maidens, Aged men, with youths,

ynglinge sammen med jomfruer, gamle sammen med unge!

13 They praise the name of Jehovah, For His name alone hath been set on high, His honour [is] above earth and heavens.

De skal prise Herrens navn, thi ophøjet er hans navn alene, hans højhed omspender jord og himmel.

14 And He exalteth the horn of His people, The praise of all His saints, Of the sons of Israel, a people near Him. Praise ye Jah!

Han løfter et horn for sit folk, lovprist af alle sine fromme, af Israels børn, det folk, der står ham nær. Halleluja!
