Psalms 148

1 Praise the Lord from the heavens, praise him in the heights.

Halleluja! Pris HERREN i Himlen, pris ham i det høje!

2 Praise him, all his angels; praise him, all his hosts.

Pris ham, alle hans Engle, pris ham, alle hans Hærskarer,

3 Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all stars of light.

pris ham, Sol og Maane, pris ham, hver lysende Stjerne,

4 Praise him, you highest heavens, and you waters above the heavens.

pris ham, Himlenes Himle og Vandene over Himlene!

5 Let them praise the name of the Lord, for at his command they were made.

De skal prise HERRENS Navn, thi han bød, og de blev skabt;

6 And he fixed them for ever and ever by a law which they dare not transgress.

han gav dem deres Plads for evigt, han gav en Lov, som de ej overtræder!

7 Praise the Lord from the earth: you depths, with your monsters, all.

Lad Pris stige op til HERREN fra Jorden, I Havdyr og alle Dyb,

8 Fire, hail, snow and ice, and stormy wind doing his word.

Ild og Hagl, Sne og Røg, Storm, som gør, hvad han siger,

9 All you mountains and hills, all you fruit trees and cedars,

I Bjerge og alle Høje, Frugttræer og alle Cedre,

10 all you wild beasts and tame, creeping things, birds on the wing.

I vilde Dyr og alt Kvæg, Krybdyr og vingede Fugle,

11 All you kings and nations of earth; all you princes and judges of earth:

I Jordens Konger og alle Folkeslag, Fyrster og alle Jordens Dommere,

12 young men and maidens together, old men and children together.

Ynglinge sammen med Jomfruer, gamle sammen med unge!

13 Let them praise the name of the Lord, for his name alone is exalted. Over heaven and earth is his glory.

De skal prise HERRENS Navn, thi ophøjet er hans Navn alene, hans Højhed omspænder Jord og Himmel.

14 He has lifted his people to honour. Wherefore this chorus of praise from his saints, from Israel, the people who stand in his fellowship. Hallelujah.

Han løfter et Horn for sit Folk, lovprist af alle sine fromme, af Israels Børn, det Folk, der staar ham nær. Halleluja!
