< Psalmi 148 >
1 Hvalite Gospoda. Hvalite Gospoda iz nebes, hvalite ga na višavah.
Praise the LORD. Praise the LORD from the heavens. Praise him in the heights.
2 Hvalite ga, vsi njegovi angeli, hvalite ga, vse njegove vojske.
Praise him, all his angels. Praise him, all his army.
3 Hvalita ga, sonce in luna, hvalite ga vse ve zvezdne luči.
Praise him, sun and moon. Praise him, all you shining stars.
4 Hvalite ga, ve nebes nebesa in ve vode, ki ste nad nebom.
Praise him, you heavens of heavens, You 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 has also established them forever and ever. He has made a decree which will not pass away.
7 Hvalite Gospoda z zemlje, vi zmaji in vse globine,
Praise the LORD from the earth, you great sea creatures, and all depths.
8 ogenj in toča, sneg in meglica, viharni veter, izpolnjujoč njegovo besedo,
Lightning and hail, snow and clouds; 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,
wild animals and all livestock; small creatures and flying birds;
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 the heavens.
14 Povišuje tudi rog svojega ljudstva, hvalo vseh njegovih svetih, celó Izraelovih otrok, ljudstva blizu njemu. Hvalite Gospoda.
He has lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his faithful ones; even of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise the LORD.
