< Псалтирь 148 >
1 Хвалите Господа с небес, хвалите Его в вышних.
Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens: praise him in the heights.
2 Хвалите Его вси Ангели Его: хвалите Его, вся силы Его.
Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.
3 Хвалите Его, солнце и луна: хвалите Его вся звезды и свет.
Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light.
4 Хвалите Его, небеса небес и вода, яже превыше небес.
Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that are above the heavens.
5 Да восхвалят имя Господне: яко Той рече, и быша: Той повеле, и создашася.
Let them praise the name of the LORD: for he commanded, and they were created.
6 Постави я в век и в век века: повеление положи, и не мимо идет.
He hath also established them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree which shall not pass.
7 Хвалите Господа от земли, змиеве и вся бездны:
Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps:
8 огнь, град, снег, голоть, дух бурен, творящая слово Его:
Fire, and hail; snow, and vapours; stormy wind fulfilling his word:
9 горы и вси холми, древа плодоносна и вси кедри:
Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars:
10 зверие и вси скоти, гади и птицы пернаты:
Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying fowl:
11 царие земстии и вси людие, князи и вси судии земстии:
Kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges of the earth:
12 юноши и девы, старцы с юнотами.
Both young men, and maidens; old men, and children:
13 Да восхвалят имя Господне: яко вознесеся имя Того единаго, исповедание Его на земли и на небеси.
Let them praise the name of the LORD: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven.
14 И вознесет рог людий Своих: песнь всем преподобным Его, сыновом Израилевым, людем приближающымся Ему.
He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise ye the LORD.
