< Psalmi 148 >
1 Hvalite Gospoda. Hvalite Gospoda iz nebes, hvalite ga na višavah.
Hallelujah. Praise ye the LORD 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 ye 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 the LORD; for He commanded, and they were created.
6 Tudi njih je utrdil na veke vekov; naredil je odlok, ki ne bo minil.
He hath also established them for ever and ever; He hath made a decree which shall not be transgressed.
7 Hvalite Gospoda z zemlje, vi zmaji in vse globine,
Praise the LORD 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, fruitful 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 and children;
13 naj hvalijo Gospodovo ime, kajti njegovo ime samó je odlično; njegova slava je nad zemljo in nebom.
Let them praise the name of the LORD, for His name alone is exalted; His glory is above the earth and heaven.
14 Povišuje tudi rog svojega ljudstva, hvalo vseh njegovih svetih, celó Izraelovih otrok, ljudstva blizu njemu. Hvalite Gospoda.
And He hath lifted up a horn for His people, a praise for all His saints, even for the children of Israel, a people near unto Him. Hallelujah.
