Halleluja! Loof die HERE uit die hemele; loof Hom in die hoogtes! Loof Hom, al sy engele, loof Hom, al Sy leërskare! Loof Hom, son en maan, loof Hom, alle ligtende sterre! Loof Hom, hoogste hemele en waters wat bo die hemele is! Laat hulle die Naam van die HERE loof; want Hy het bevel gegee—en hulle is geskape. En Hy het hulle in stand gehou vir altyd, vir ewig; Hy het 'n wet gegee wat geeneen oortree nie. Loof die HERE van die aarde af—groot seediere en alle dieptes! Vuur en hael, sneeu en damp, stormwind wat Sy woord volbring; berge en alle heuwels, vrugtebome en alle sederbome, wilde diere en alle vee, kruipende diere en gevleuelde voëls; konings van die aarde en alle volke, vorste en
alle regters van die aarde; jongelinge en ook jongedogters, oues saam met die jonges— laat hulle die Naam van die HERE loof!Want Sy Naam alleen is hoog; Sy majesteit is oor aarde en hemel! En Hy het ‘n horing vir Sy volk verhef: 'n roem vir al Sy gunsgenote; vir die kinders van Israel,
die volk wat naby Hom is.
Halleluja!
Psalm 148 |
Praise ye the LORD.
Praise ye the LORD from the heavens: praise Him in the heights. Praise ye
Him, all His angels: praise ye Him, all His hosts. Praise ye Him, sun and moon: praise
Him, all ye stars of light. Praise Him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens. Let them praise the name of the LORD: for
He commanded, and they were created. He hath also established them forever and ever:
He hath made a decree which shall not pass.
Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps: Fire, and hail; snow, and vapor; stormy wind fulfilling
His word: Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars: Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying fowl: Kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges of the earth:
Both young men,
and maidens; old men, and children: Let them praise the name of the LORD:
for His name alone is excellent;
His glory is above the earth and heaven.
He also exalteth the horn of His people,
the praise of all His saints;
even of the children of Israel,
a people near unto him.
Praise ye the LORD.
