< Sòm 148 >
1 Louwe SENYÈ a! Louwe SENYÈ a soti nan syèl yo! Louwe Li kote ki wo yo!
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord from heaven; praise him in the heights above!
2 Louwe Li, tout zanj Li yo. Louwe Li tout lame Li yo!
Praise him, all his angels; praise him, all his heavenly armies!
3 Louwe Li, solèy ak lalin nan. Louwe Li, tout zetwal ki limen yo!
Praise him, sun and moon! Praise him, all you shining stars!
4 Louwe Li, pi wo syèl yo, ak dlo ki anwo syèl yo.
Praise him, highest heavens, and the waters above the heavens!
5 Kite yo louwe non SENYÈ a, paske Li te pase lòd, e sa te fèt.
Let them all praise the Lord and his nature, for he gave the order 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 placed them in their positions forever and ever; he established a law that will never end.
7 Louwe SENYÈ a soti sou latè, gwo bèt voras lanmè a ak tout fon an.
Praise the Lord from the earth, and creatures from all the depths of the seas,
8 Dife ak lagrèl, lanèj ak nwaj, van tanpèt ki akonpli pawòl Li yo.
lightning and hail, snow and clouds, and stormy wind—everything that does as he commands.
9 Mòn yo ak tout kolin yo, pye fwi yo ak tout pye sèd yo,
Mountains and all the hills, fruit trees and all the trees of the forest,
10 Bèt sovaj yo ak tout bèt chan yo, sa ki trennen atè ak bèt ki vole yo,
wild animals and all livestock, crawling animals and wild birds,
11 wa latè yo ak tout pèp yo, prens yo ak tout jij latè yo,
earthly kings and all peoples, leaders and rulers of the world,
12 ni jennonm, ni vyèj, granmoun ak timoun.
young men and women, old people and children—
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 all praise the Lord, for his reputation is unequalled; his glory is above anything on earth or in heaven.
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.
He has given his people a source of strength, bringing praise to his faithful followers, the people of Israel who are dear to him. Praise the Lord!
