Singular semipositive metrics in non-Archimedean geometry

Let X be a smooth projective Berkovich space over a complete discrete valuation field K of residue characteristic zero, endowed with an ample line bundle L. We introduce a general notion of (possibly singular) semipositive (or plurisubharmonic) metrics on L, and prove the analogue of the following two basic results in the complex case: the set of semipositive metrics is compact modulo constants, and each semipositive metric is a decreasing limit of smooth semipositive ones. In particular, for continuous metrics our definition agrees with the one by S.-W. Zhang. The proofs use multiplier ideals and the construction of suitable models of X over the valuation ring of K, using toroidal techniques.
