Psaltaren 148

1 Halleluja. Lofver, I himlar, Herran; lofver honom i höjdene.

Alleluia, [a Psalm] of Aggaeus and Zacharias. Praise you the Lord from the heavens: praise him in the highest.

2 Lofver honom, alle hans Änglar; lofver honom, all hans här.

Praise you him, all his angels: praise you him, all his hosts.

3 Lofver honom, sol och måne; lofver honom, alla skinande stjernor.

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

4 Lofver honom, I himlar, allt omkring, och de vatten, som ofvan himmelen äro.

Praise him, you heavens of heavens, and the water that is above the heavens.

5 De skola lofva Herrans Namn; ty han bjuder, så varder det skapadt.

Let them praise the name of the Lord: for he spoke, and they were made; he commanded, and they were created.

6 Han håller dem alltid och evinnerliga; han skickar dem, att de icke annorlunda gå måste.

He has established them for ever, even for ever and ever: he has made an ordinance, and it shall not pass away.

7 Lofver Herran på jordene; I hvalfiskar och all djup;

Praise the Lord from the earth, you serpents, and all deeps.

8 Eld, hagel, snö och dimba, stormväder, de hans ord uträtta;

Fire, hail, snow, ice, stormy wind; the things that perform his word.

9 Berg, och alle högar; fruktsam trä, och alle cedrer;

Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars:

10 Djur och all fänad; krypande djur, och foglar.

wild beasts, and all cattle; reptiles, and winged 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;

young men and virgins, old men with youths:

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 name of the Lord: for his name only is exalted; his praise is above the earth and heaven,

14 Och han upphöjer sins folks horn; alle hans helige skola lofva, Israels barn, det folk, som honom tjenar. Halleluja.

and he shall exalt the horn of his people, [there is] a hymn for all his saints, [even] of the children of Israel, a people who draw near to him.
