Psalms 148
1 Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord from heaven; praise him in the heights above!
Halleluja. Lofver, I himlar, Herran; lofver honom i höjdene.
2 Praise him, all his angels; praise him, all his heavenly armies!
Lofver honom, alle hans Änglar; lofver honom, all hans här.
3 Praise him, sun and moon! Praise him, all you shining stars!
Lofver honom, sol och måne; lofver honom, alla skinande stjernor.
4 Praise him, highest heavens, and the waters above the heavens!
Lofver honom, I himlar, allt omkring, och de vatten, som ofvan himmelen äro.
5 Let them all praise the Lord and his nature, for he gave the order and they were created.
De skola lofva Herrans Namn; ty han bjuder, så varder det skapadt.
6 He placed them in their positions forever and ever; he established a law that will never end.
Han håller dem alltid och evinnerliga; han skickar dem, att de icke annorlunda gå måste.
7 Praise the Lord from the earth, and creatures from all the depths of the seas,
Lofver Herran på jordene; I hvalfiskar och all djup;
8 lightning and hail, snow and clouds, and stormy wind—everything that does as he commands.
Eld, hagel, snö och dimba, stormväder, de hans ord uträtta;
9 Mountains and all the hills, fruit trees and all the trees of the forest,
Berg, och alle högar; fruktsam trä, och alle cedrer;
10 wild animals and all livestock, crawling animals and wild birds,
Djur och all fänad; krypande djur, och foglar.
11 earthly kings and all peoples, leaders and rulers of the world,
I Konungar på jordene, och all folk; Förstar, och alle domare på jordene;
12 young men and women, old people and children—
Ynglingar och jungfrur; de gamle med de unga;
13 Let them all praise the Lord, for his reputation is unequalled; his glory is above anything on earth or in heaven.
Skolen lofva Herrans Namn; ty hans Namn allena är högt; hans lof går så vidt som himmel och jord är.
14 He has given his people a source of strength, bringing praise to his faithful followers, the people of Israel who are dear to him. Praise the Lord!
Och han upphöjer sins folks horn; alle hans helige skola lofva, Israels barn, det folk, som honom tjenar. Halleluja.
