Hele skabningen skal lovsynge Herren
1Halleluja!
Lad Herrens pris lyde fra himlen.
Lovsyng ham, I, der hører hjemme i det høje.
2Pris ham, I engle,
lad den himmelske hærskare lovsynge ham.
3Pris ham, sol og måne,
lovsyng ham, alle I blinkende stjerner.
4Pris ham, I højeste himle,
lovsyng ham, I vande højt over skyerne.
5I skal alle prise Herren,
for I er skabt på hans befaling.
6Han gav jer hver jeres faste plads
ved en befaling, som ikke kan trækkes tilbage.
7Lad Herrens pris lyde fra jorden,
lovsyng ham, alle I havets skabninger.
8Pris ham, lyn og hagl, sne og tåge,
lovsyng ham, I vinde, der udfører hans befalinger.
9Pris ham, I bjerge og bakker,
lovsyng ham, I frugttræer og cederskove.
10Pris ham, både rovdyr og husdyr,
lovsyng ham, I krybdyr og fugle.
11Pris ham, I jordens konger,
lovsyng ham, alle I fyrster og ledere.
12Pris ham, I unge mænd og unge piger,
lovsyng ham, både I børn og I ældre.
13I skal alle prise Herren, for han er større end alt andet.
Han har al magten i himlen og på jorden.
14Han har ført sit folk frem til sejr,
han har givet sine tjenere grund til glæde,
det er Israel, som står hans hjerte nær.
Halleluja!
Psalm 148
1Praise the Lord.148:1 Hebrew Hallelu Yah; also in verse 14
Praise the Lord from the heavens;
praise him in the heights above.
2Praise him, all his angels;
praise him, all his heavenly hosts.
3Praise him, sun and moon;
praise him, all you shining stars.
4Praise him, you highest heavens
and you waters above the skies.
5Let them praise the name of the Lord,
for at his command they were created,
6and he established them for ever and ever—
he issued a decree that will never pass away.
7Praise the Lord from the earth,
you great sea creatures and all ocean depths,
8lightning and hail, snow and clouds,
stormy winds that do his bidding,
9you mountains and all hills,
fruit trees and all cedars,
10wild animals and all cattle,
small creatures and flying birds,
11kings of the earth and all nations,
you princes and all rulers on earth,
12young men and women,
old men and children.
13Let them praise the name of the Lord,
for his name alone is exalted;
his splendor is above the earth and the heavens.
14And he has raised up for his people a horn,148:14 Horn here symbolizes strength.
the praise of all his faithful servants,
of Israel, the people close to his heart.
Praise the Lord.
