Psalmi 148

1 Hvalite Gospoda. Hvalite Gospoda iz nebes, hvalite ga na višavah.

Hallelujah! Praise Jehovah from the heavens; praise him in the heights.

2 Hvalite ga, vsi njegovi angeli, hvalite ga, vse njegove vojske.

Praise ye him, all his angels; praise ye him, all his hosts.

3 Hvalita ga, sonce in luna, hvalite ga vse ve zvezdne luči.

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

4 Hvalite ga, ve nebes nebesa in ve vode, ki ste nad nebom.

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

5 Naj hvalijo Gospodovo ime, kajti ukazal je in bili so ustvarjeni.

Let them praise the name of Jehovah, for he it is that commanded, and they were created:

6 Tudi njih je utrdil na veke vekov; naredil je odlok, ki ne bo minil.

And he established them for ever and ever; he made [for them] a statute which shall not pass.

7 Hvalite Gospoda z zemlje, vi zmaji in vse globine,

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

8 ogenj in toča, sneg in meglica, viharni veter, izpolnjujoč njegovo besedo,

Fire and hail, snow and vapour, stormy wind fulfilling his word;

9 gore in vsi hribi, rodovitna drevesa in vse cedre,

Mountains and all hills, fruit-trees and all cedars;

10 živali in vsa živina, plazeče stvari in leteča perjad,

Beasts and all cattle, creeping things and winged fowl;

11 kralji zemlje in vsi ljudje, princi in vsi zemeljski sodniki,

Kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all judges of the earth;

12 tako mladeniči kakor mladenke, starci in otroci;

Both young men and maidens, old men with youths, —

13 naj hvalijo Gospodovo ime, kajti njegovo ime samó je odlično; njegova slava je nad zemljo in nebom.

Let them praise the name of Jehovah: for his name alone is exalted; his majesty is above the earth and the heavens.

14 Povišuje tudi rog svojega ljudstva, hvalo vseh njegovih svetih, celó Izraelovih otrok, ljudstva blizu njemu. Hvalite Gospoda.

And he hath lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints, [even] of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Hallelujah!
