Psaltaren 148
Swedish New Living Bible (Nya Levande Bibeln)
Lova Herren i himlen och på jorden
148 Lova Herren i himlen! Prisa honom i höjden!
2 Lova honom, alla hans änglar, hela himlens här!
3 Lova honom, sol och måne och alla lysande stjärnor.
4 Lova honom, ni himlar som finns där ovan! Lova honom, ni dimmor högt ovan molnen!
5 Låt allt som han har skapat lova honom, för han gav order om att de skulle bli till.
6 Han gav dem för alltid deras plats. Hans befallningar kan aldrig upphävas.
7 Lova honom du jord och ni varelser i havens djup.
8 Låt eld och hagel, snö och regn, väder och vind, lyda honom.
9 Låt berg och kullar, fruktträd och cedrar,
10 vilddjur och boskap, ormar och fåglar lova honom.
11 Låt kungar och folk med sina härskare och domare,
12 unga män och flickor,
13 ja, låt alla lova Herren tillsammans. Han, bara han, är värd det. Hans härlighet är mycket större än jorden och himlen.
14 Han har gjort sitt folk starkt och gett det hopp. Därför lovar Israel honom, det folk som står honom närmast.Halleluja! Ja, lova Herren!
