< Mazmur 148 >
1 Haleluya! Pujilah TUHAN di sorga, pujilah Dia di tempat tinggi!
Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD from the heavens! Praise him in the heights!
2 Pujilah Dia, hai segala malaikat-Nya, pujilah Dia, hai segala tentara-Nya!
Praise him, all his angels! Praise him, all his army!
3 Pujilah Dia, hai matahari dan bulan, pujilah Dia, hai segala bintang terang!
Praise him, sun and moon! Praise him, all you shining stars!
4 Pujilah Dia, hai langit yang mengatasi segala langit, hai air yang di atas langit!
Praise him, you heavens of heavens, you waters that are above the heavens.
5 Baiklah semuanya memuji nama TUHAN, sebab Dia memberi perintah, maka semuanya tercipta.
Let them praise the LORD’s name, for he commanded, and they were created.
6 Dia mendirikan semuanya untuk seterusnya dan selamanya, dan memberi ketetapan yang tidak dapat dilanggar.
He has also established them forever and ever. He has made a decree which will not pass away.
7 Pujilah TUHAN di bumi, hai ular-ular naga dan segenap samudera raya;
Praise the LORD from the earth, you great sea creatures, and all depths,
8 hai api dan hujan es, salju dan kabut, angin badai yang melakukan firman-Nya;
lightning and hail, snow and clouds, stormy wind, fulfilling his word,
9 hai gunung-gunung dan segala bukit, pohon buah-buahan dan segala pohon aras:
mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars,
10 hai binatang-binatang liar dan segala hewan, binatang melata dan burung-burung yang bersayap;
wild animals and all livestock, small creatures and flying birds,
11 hai raja-raja di bumi dan segala bangsa, pembesar-pembesar dan semua pemerintah dunia;
kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all judges of the earth,
12 hai teruna dan anak-anak dara, orang tua dan orang muda!
both young men and maidens, old men and children.
13 Biarlah semuanya memuji-muji TUHAN, sebab hanya nama-Nya saja yang tinggi luhur, keagungan-Nya mengatasi bumi dan langit.
Let them praise the LORD’s name, for his name alone is exalted. His glory is above the earth and the heavens.
14 Ia telah meninggikan tanduk umat-Nya, menjadi puji-pujian bagi semua orang yang dikasihi-Nya, bagi orang Israel, umat yang dekat pada-Nya. Haleluya!
He has lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints, even of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise the LORD!
