Praise to the Lord from Creation
148 Praise[a] the Lord!
Praise the Lord from the heavens;
Praise Him in the heights!
2 Praise Him, all His angels;
Praise Him, all His hosts!
3 Praise Him, sun and moon;
Praise Him, all you stars of light!
4 Praise Him, (A)you heavens of heavens,
And (B)you waters above the heavens!
5 Let them praise the name of the Lord,
For (C)He commanded and they were created.
6 (D)He also established them forever and ever;
He made a decree which shall not pass away.
7 Praise the Lord from the earth,
(E)You great sea creatures and all the depths;
8 Fire and hail, snow and clouds;
Stormy wind, fulfilling His word;
9 (F)Mountains and all hills;
Fruitful trees and all cedars;
10 Beasts and all cattle;
Creeping things and flying fowl;
11 Kings of the earth and all peoples;
Princes and all judges of the earth;
12 Both young men and maidens;
Old men and children.
13 Let them praise the name of the Lord,
For His (G)name alone is exalted;
His glory is above the earth and heaven.
14 And He (H)has exalted the [b]horn of His people,
The praise of (I)all His saints—
Of the children of Israel,
(J)A people near to Him.
[c]Praise the Lord!

Hoffnung für Alle
Lobt den Herrn im Himmel und auf der Erde!
148 Halleluja – lobt den Herrn!
Lobt den Herrn im Himmel,
lobt ihn dort in der Höhe!
2 Lobt ihn, alle seine Engel,
lobt ihn, ihr himmlischen Heere!
3 Lobt ihn, Sonne und Mond,
lobt ihn, ihr leuchtenden Sterne!
4 Lobt ihn auch im fernsten Weltall,[a]
lobt ihn, ihr Wassermassen über dem Himmel!
5 Sie alle sollen den Herrn loben!
Denn auf seinen Befehl hin wurden sie erschaffen.
6 Er wies ihnen für alle Zeiten ihren Platz zu
und gab ihnen feste Gesetze, denen sie für immer unterworfen sind.
7 Lobt den Herrn auf der Erde!
Lobt ihn, ihr gewaltigen Seetiere und alle Meerestiefen!
8 Lobt ihn,[b] Blitze, Hagel, Schnee und Nebel,
du Sturmwind, der du Gottes Befehle ausführst!
9 Lobt ihn, ihr Berge und Hügel,
ihr Obstbäume und Zedern!
10 Lobt ihn, ihr wilden und zahmen Tiere,
ihr Vögel und alles Gewürm!
11 Lobt ihn, ihr Könige und alle Völker,
ihr Herrscher und Machthaber dieser Welt!
12 Lobt ihn, ihr jungen Männer und Mädchen,
Alte und Junge miteinander!
13 Sie alle sollen den Herrn loben,
denn sein Name allein ist hoch erhaben.
Seine Majestät erstreckt sich über Himmel und Erde!
14 Er hat seinem Volk Ansehen und Macht geschenkt.[c]
Darum haben die Israeliten allen Grund, ihn zu loben –
das Volk, das ihm so nahe ist und treu zu ihm steht.
Lobt den Herrn. Halleluja!
