Psaltaren 148
1 Halleluja. Lofver, I himlar, Herran; lofver honom i höjdene.
Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD from the heavens! Praise him in the heights!
2 Lofver honom, alle hans Änglar; lofver honom, all hans här.
Praise him, all his angels! Praise him, all his army!
3 Lofver honom, sol och måne; lofver honom, alla skinande stjernor.
Praise him, sun and moon! Praise him, all you shining stars!
4 Lofver honom, I himlar, allt omkring, och de vatten, som ofvan himmelen äro.
Praise him, you heavens of heavens, you waters that are above the heavens.
5 De skola lofva Herrans Namn; ty han bjuder, så varder det skapadt.
Let them praise the LORD’s name, for he commanded, and they were created.
6 Han håller dem alltid och evinnerliga; han skickar dem, att de icke annorlunda gå måste.
He has also established them forever and ever. He has made a decree which will not pass away.
7 Lofver Herran på jordene; I hvalfiskar och all djup;
Praise the LORD from the earth, you great sea creatures, and all depths,
8 Eld, hagel, snö och dimba, stormväder, de hans ord uträtta;
lightning and hail, snow and clouds, stormy wind, fulfilling his word,
9 Berg, och alle högar; fruktsam trä, och alle cedrer;
mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars,
10 Djur och all fänad; krypande djur, och foglar.
wild animals and all livestock, small creatures and flying birds,
11 I Konungar på jordene, och all folk; Förstar, och alle domare på jordene;
kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all judges of the earth,
12 Ynglingar och jungfrur; de gamle med de unga;
both young men and maidens, 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 praise the LORD’s name, for his name alone is exalted. His glory is above the earth and the heavens.
14 Och han upphöjer sins folks horn; alle hans helige skola lofva, Israels barn, det folk, som honom tjenar. Halleluja.
He has lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his holy ones, even of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise the LORD!
