Hele skabningen skal lovsynge Herren

148 Halleluja!
Lad Herrens pris lyde fra himlen.
    Lovsyng ham, I, der hører hjemme i det høje.
Pris ham, I engle,
    lad den himmelske hærskare lovsynge ham.
Pris ham, sol og måne,
    lovsyng ham, alle I blinkende stjerner.
Pris ham, I højeste himle,
    lovsyng ham, I vande højt over skyerne.
I skal alle prise Herren,
    for I er skabt på hans befaling.
Han gav jer hver jeres faste plads
    ved en befaling, som ikke kan trækkes tilbage.
Lad Herrens pris lyde fra jorden,
    lovsyng ham, alle I havets skabninger.
Pris ham, lyn og hagl, sne og tåge,
    lovsyng ham, I vinde, der udfører hans befalinger.
Pris ham, I bjerge og bakker,
    lovsyng ham, I frugttræer og cederskove.
10 Pris ham, både rovdyr og husdyr,
    lovsyng ham, I krybdyr og fugle.
11 Pris ham, I jordens konger,
    lovsyng ham, alle I fyrster og ledere.
12 Pris ham, I unge mænd og unge piger,
    lovsyng ham, både I børn og I ældre.
13 I skal alle prise Herren, for han er større end alt andet.
    Han har al magten i himlen og på jorden.
14 Han 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

Praise the Lord.[a](A)

Praise the Lord from the heavens;(B)
    praise him in the heights above.
Praise him, all his angels;(C)
    praise him, all his heavenly hosts.(D)
Praise him, sun(E) and moon;
    praise him, all you shining stars.
Praise him, you highest heavens(F)
    and you waters above the skies.(G)

Let them praise the name(H) of the Lord,
    for at his command(I) they were created,
and he established them for ever and ever—
    he issued a decree(J) that will never pass away.

Praise the Lord(K) from the earth,
    you great sea creatures(L) and all ocean depths,(M)
lightning and hail,(N) snow and clouds,
    stormy winds that do his bidding,(O)
you mountains and all hills,(P)
    fruit trees and all cedars,
10 wild animals(Q) and all cattle,
    small creatures and flying birds,
11 kings(R) of the earth and all nations,
    you princes and all rulers on earth,
12 young men and women,
    old men and children.

13 Let them praise the name of the Lord,(S)
    for his name alone is exalted;
    his splendor(T) is above the earth and the heavens.(U)
14 And he has raised up for his people a horn,[b](V)
    the praise(W) of all his faithful servants,(X)
    of Israel, the people close to his heart.(Y)

Praise the Lord.
