Salme 148

1 Halleluja! Pris Herren i himlen, pris ham i det høje!

Praise ye the Lord. Praise ye the Lord from the heauen: prayse ye him in the high places.

2 Pris ham, alle hans engle, pris ham, alle hans hærskarer,

Prayse ye him, all ye his Angels: praise him, all his armie.

3 pris ham, sol og måne, pris ham, hver lysende stjerne,

Prayse ye him, sunne and moone: prayse ye him all bright starres.

4 pris ham, himlenes himle og vandene over himlene!

Prayse ye him, heauens of heauens, and waters, that be aboue the heauens.

5 De skal prise Herrens navn, thi han bød, og de blev skabt;

Let them prayse the Name of the Lord: for he commanded, and they were created.

6 han gav dem deres plads for evigt, han gav en lov, som de ej overtræder!

And he hath established them for euer and euer: he hath made an ordinance, which shall not passe.

7 Lad pris stige op til Herren fra jorden, I havdyr og alle dyb,

Prayse ye the Lord from the earth, ye dragons and all depths:

8 Ild og hagl, sne og røg, storm, som gør hvad han siger,

Fire and hayle, snowe and vapours, stormie winde, which execute his worde:

9 I bjerge og alle høje, frugttræer og alle cedre,

Mountaines and all hils, fruitfull trees and all ceders:

10 I vilde dyr og alt kvæg, krybdyr og vingede fugle,

Beasts and all cattell, creeping things and fethered foules:

11 I jordens konger og alle folkeslag, fyrster og alle jordens dommere,

Kings of the earth and all people, princes and all iudges of the worlde:

12 ynglinge sammen med jomfruer, gamle sammen med unge!

Yong men and maidens, also olde men and children:

13 De skal prise Herrens navn, thi ophøjet er hans navn alene, hans højhed omspender jord og himmel.

Let them prayse the Name of the Lord: for his Name onely is to be exalted, and his prayse aboue the earth and the heauens.

14 Han løfter et horn for sit folk, lovprist af alle sine fromme, af Israels børn, det folk, der står ham nær. Halleluja!

For he hath exalted the horne of his people, which is a prayse for all his Saintes, euen for the children of Israel, a people that is neere vnto him. Prayse ye the Lord.
