< Sòm 148 >

1 Louwe SENYÈ a! Louwe SENYÈ a soti nan syèl yo! Louwe Li kote ki wo yo!
Praise ye YHWH. Praise ye YHWH 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 angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.
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 be 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 YHWH: 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 hath also stablished them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree which shall not pass.
7 Louwe SENYÈ a soti sou latè, gwo bèt voras lanmè a ak tout fon an.
Praise YHWH from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps:
8 Dife ak lagrèl, lanèj ak nwaj, van tanpèt ki akonpli pawòl Li yo.
Fire, and hail; snow, and vapour; 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 fowl:
11 wa latè yo ak tout pèp yo, prens yo ak tout jij latè yo,
Kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges of the earth:
12 ni jennonm, ni vyèj, granmoun ak timoun.
Both young men, and maidens; old men, 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 praise the name of YHWH: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and 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 also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise ye YHWH.
