< Psalmi 148 >
1 Hvalite Gospoda. Hvalite Gospoda iz nebes, hvalite ga na višavah.
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 hosts.
3 Hvalita ga, sonce in luna, hvalite ga vse ve zvezdne luči.
Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all stars of light.
4 Hvalite ga, ve nebes nebesa in ve vode, ki ste nad nebom.
Praise him, you highest heavens, and you waters above the heavens.
5 Naj hvalijo Gospodovo ime, kajti ukazal je in bili so ustvarjeni.
Let them praise the name of the Lord, for at his command they were made.
6 Tudi njih je utrdil na veke vekov; naredil je odlok, ki ne bo minil.
And he fixed them for ever and ever by a law which they dare not transgress.
7 Hvalite Gospoda z zemlje, vi zmaji in vse globine,
Praise the Lord from the earth: you depths, with your monsters, all.
8 ogenj in toča, sneg in meglica, viharni veter, izpolnjujoč njegovo besedo,
Fire, hail, snow and ice, and stormy wind doing his word.
9 gore in vsi hribi, rodovitna drevesa in vse cedre,
All you mountains and hills, all you fruit trees and cedars,
10 živali in vsa živina, plazeče stvari in leteča perjad,
all you wild beasts and tame, creeping things, birds on the wing.
11 kralji zemlje in vsi ljudje, princi in vsi zemeljski sodniki,
All you kings and nations of earth; all you princes and judges of earth:
12 tako mladeniči kakor mladenke, starci in otroci;
young men and maidens together, old men and children together.
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. Over heaven and earth is his glory.
14 Povišuje tudi rog svojega ljudstva, hvalo vseh njegovih svetih, celó Izraelovih otrok, ljudstva blizu njemu. Hvalite Gospoda.
He has lifted his people to honor. Wherefore this chorus of praise from his saints, from Israel, the people who stand in his fellowship. Hallelujah.
