Psaltaren 148
1 Halleluja. Lofver, I himlar, Herran; lofver honom i höjdene.
Give praise to the Lord. Let the Lord be praised from the heavens: give him praise in the skies.
2 Lofver honom, alle hans Änglar; lofver honom, all hans här.
Give praise to him, all you his angels: give praise to him, all his armies.
3 Lofver honom, sol och måne; lofver honom, alla skinande stjernor.
Give praise to him, you sun and moon: give praise to him, all you stars of light.
4 Lofver honom, I himlar, allt omkring, och de vatten, som ofvan himmelen äro.
Give praise to him, you highest heavens, and you waters which are over the heavens.
5 De skola lofva Herrans Namn; ty han bjuder, så varder det skapadt.
Let them give praise to the name of the Lord: for he gave the order, and they were made.
6 Han håller dem alltid och evinnerliga; han skickar dem, att de icke annorlunda gå måste.
He has put them in their places for ever; he has given them their limits which may not be broken.
7 Lofver Herran på jordene; I hvalfiskar och all djup;
Give praise to the Lord from the earth, you great sea-beasts, and deep places:
8 Eld, hagel, snö och dimba, stormväder, de hans ord uträtta;
Fire and rain of ice, snow and mists; storm-wind, doing his word:
9 Berg, och alle högar; fruktsam trä, och alle cedrer;
Mountains and all hills; fruit-trees and all trees of the mountains:
10 Djur och all fänad; krypande djur, och foglar.
Beasts and all cattle; insects and winged birds:
11 I Konungar på jordene, och all folk; Förstar, och alle domare på jordene;
Kings of the earth, and all peoples; rulers and all judges of the earth:
12 Ynglingar och jungfrur; de gamle med de unga;
Young men and virgins; old men and children:
13 Skolen lofva Herrans Namn; ty hans Namn allena är högt; hans lof går så vidt som himmel och jord är.
Let them give glory to the name of the Lord: for his name only is to be praised: his kingdom is over the earth and the heaven.
14 Och han upphöjer sins folks horn; alle hans helige skola lofva, Israels barn, det folk, som honom tjenar. Halleluja.
He has put on high the horn of his people, for the praise of all his saints; even the children of Israel, a people which is near to him. Let the Lord be praised.
