Sòm 148

1 Louwe SENYÈ a! Louwe SENYÈ a soti nan syèl yo! Louwe Li kote ki wo yo!

Praise ye Jehovah. Praise ye Jehovah from the heavens. Praise him in the heights.

2 Louwe Li, tout zanj Li yo. Louwe Li tout lame Li yo!

Praise ye him, all his agents. Praise ye him, all his host.

3 Louwe Li, solèy ak lalin nan. Louwe Li, tout zetwal ki limen yo!

Praise ye him, sun and moon. Praise him, all ye stars of light.

4 Louwe Li, pi wo syèl yo, ak dlo ki anwo syèl yo.

Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that are above the heavens.

5 Kite yo louwe non SENYÈ a, paske Li te pase lòd, e sa te fèt.

Let them praise the name of Jehovah. For he commanded, and they were created.

6 Anplis, Li te etabli yo jis pou tout tan. Li te pase yon dekrè ki p ap janm disparèt.

He has also established them forever and ever. He has made a decree which shall not pass away.

7 Louwe SENYÈ a soti sou latè, gwo bèt voras lanmè a ak tout fon an.

Praise Jehovah from the earth, ye sea-monsters, and all deeps,

8 Dife ak lagrèl, lanèj ak nwaj, van tanpèt ki akonpli pawòl Li yo.

fire and hail, snow and vapor, stormy wind, fulfilling his word,

9 Mòn yo ak tout kolin yo, pye fwi yo ak tout pye sèd yo,

mountains and all hills, fruitful trees and all cedars,

10 Bèt sovaj yo ak tout bèt chan yo, sa ki trennen atè ak bèt ki vole yo,

beasts and all cattle, creeping things and flying birds,

11 wa latè yo ak tout pèp yo, prens yo ak tout jij latè yo,

kings of the earth and all peoples, rulers and all judges of the earth,

12 ni jennonm, ni vyèj, granmoun ak timoun.

both young men and virgins, old men and sons.

13 Kite yo louwe non SENYÈ a, paske se sèl non Li ki leve wo. Glwa Li pi wo tè a ak syèl la.

Let them praise the name of Jehovah, for his name alone is exalted. His glory is above the earth and the heavens.

14 Li te leve yon kòn pou pèp Li a, Lwanj pou tout fidèl Li yo, menm pou fis Israël yo, yon pèp toupre Li. Louwe SENYÈ a.

And he has lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his sanctified, even of the sons of Israel, a people near to him. Praise ye Jehovah.
