< Psalms 148 >

1 Praise the Lord from the heavens, praise him in the heights.
Halleluja. Lofver, I himlar, Herran; lofver honom i höjdene.
2 Praise him, all his angels; praise him, all his hosts.
Lofver honom, alle hans Änglar; lofver honom, all hans här.
3 Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all stars of light.
Lofver honom, sol och måne; lofver honom, alla skinande stjernor.
4 Praise him, you highest heavens, and you waters above the heavens.
Lofver honom, I himlar, allt omkring, och de vatten, som ofvan himmelen äro.
5 Let them praise the name of the Lord, for at his command they were made.
De skola lofva Herrans Namn; ty han bjuder, så varder det skapadt.
6 And he fixed them for ever and ever by a law which they dare not transgress.
Han håller dem alltid och evinnerliga; han skickar dem, att de icke annorlunda gå måste.
7 Praise the Lord from the earth: you depths, with your monsters, all.
Lofver Herran på jordene; I hvalfiskar och all djup;
8 Fire, hail, snow and ice, and stormy wind doing his word.
Eld, hagel, snö och dimba, stormväder, de hans ord uträtta;
9 All you mountains and hills, all you fruit trees and cedars,
Berg, och alle högar; fruktsam trä, och alle cedrer;
10 all you wild beasts and tame, creeping things, birds on the wing.
Djur och all fänad; krypande djur, och foglar.
11 All you kings and nations of earth; all you princes and judges of earth:
I Konungar på jordene, och all folk; Förstar, och alle domare på jordene;
12 young men and maidens together, old men and children together.
Ynglingar och jungfrur; de gamle med de unga;
13 Let them praise the name of the Lord, for his name alone is exalted. Over heaven and earth is his glory.
Skolen lofva Herrans Namn; ty hans Namn allena är högt; hans lof går så vidt som himmel och jord är.
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.
Och han upphöjer sins folks horn; alle hans helige skola lofva, Israels barn, det folk, som honom tjenar. Halleluja.
