Psalms 148

1 Praise Yah! Praise Yahweh from the heavens! Praise him in the heights!

亞肋路亞！請您們在天上讚美上主，請您們在高處讚美上主！

2 Praise him, all his angels! Praise him, all his army!

上主的眾天使，請讚美上主；上主的一切聖者，請讚美上主！

3 Praise him, sun and moon! Praise him, all you shining stars!

太陽和月亮，請讚美上主；燦爛的諸星，請讚美上主！

4 Praise him, you heavens of heavens, you waters that are above the heavens.

天上的諸天，請讚美上主；天上的雨水，請讚美上主！

5 Let them praise Yahweh’s name, for he commanded, and they were created.

願它們齊來讚美上主的名號！因為上主一命令，它們立刻受造。

6 He has also established them forever and ever. He has made a decree which will not pass away.

他確定的位置，留至永恒，他頒部的規律，永不變更。

7 Praise Yahweh from the earth, you great sea creatures, and all depths,

請您們在地上讚美上主：海怪和海深處的眾水族，

8 lightning and hail, snow and clouds, stormy wind, fulfilling his word,

還有電火與冰雹，白雪和雲霧，以及遵行他命令的狂風暴雨。

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

山岳和一切丘陵，果樹與各種柏松，

10 wild animals and all livestock, small creatures and flying birds,

野獸和一切畜牲，各種爬蟲和鳥類，

11 kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all judges of the earth,

世上的列王和萬民，地上的元首與公卿，

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

少年人和童貞女，老年人與兒童侶，

13 Let them praise Yahweh’s name, for his name alone is exalted. His glory is above the earth and the heavens.

請您們讚美上主的名字，因為只有他的名字高貴，他的尊嚴遠遠超越天地，

14 He has lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints, even of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise Yah!

上主使自己百姓的頭角高聳，他是他自己一切聖徒的讚頌，即接近他的以色列民的光榮。
