詩篇 148

1 亞肋路亞！請您們在天上讚美上主，請您們在高處讚美上主！

Alleluya. Ye of heuenes, herie the Lord; herie ye hym in hiye thingis.

2 上主的眾天使，請讚美上主；上主的一切聖者，請讚美上主！

Alle hise aungels, herie ye hym; alle hise vertues, herye ye hym.

3 太陽和月亮，請讚美上主；燦爛的諸星，請讚美上主！

Sunne and moone, herie ye hym; alle sterris and liyt, herie ye hym.

4 天上的諸天，請讚美上主；天上的雨水，請讚美上主！

Heuenes of heuenes, herie ye hym; and the watris that ben aboue heuenes,

5 願它們齊來讚美上主的名號！因為上主一命令，它們立刻受造。

herie ye the name of the Lord.

6 他確定的位置，留至永恒，他頒部的規律，永不變更。

For he seide, and thingis weren maad; he comaundide, and thingis weren maad of nouyt. He ordeynede tho thingis in to the world, and in to the world of world; he settide a comaundement, and it schal not passe.

7 請您們在地上讚美上主：海怪和海深處的眾水族，

Ye of erthe, herie ye the Lord; dragouns, and alle depthis of watris.

8 還有電火與冰雹，白雪和雲霧，以及遵行他命令的狂風暴雨。

Fier, hail, snow, iys, spiritis of tempestis; that don his word.

9 山岳和一切丘陵，果樹與各種柏松，

Mounteyns, and alle litle hillis; trees berynge fruyt, and alle cedris.

10 野獸和一切畜牲，各種爬蟲和鳥類，

Wielde beestis, and alle tame beestis; serpentis, and fetherid briddis.

11 世上的列王和萬民，地上的元首與公卿，

The kingis of erthe, and alle puplis; the princis, and alle iugis of erthe.

12 少年人和童貞女，老年人與兒童侶，

Yonge men, and virgyns, elde men with yongere, herie ye the name of the Lord;

13 請您們讚美上主的名字，因為只有他的名字高貴，他的尊嚴遠遠超越天地，

for the name of hym aloone is enhaunsid.

14 上主使自己百姓的頭角高聳，他是他自己一切聖徒的讚頌，即接近他的以色列民的光榮。

His knouleching be on heuene and erthe; and he hath enhaunsid the horn of his puple. An ympne be to alle hise seyntis; to the children of Israel, to a puple neiyynge to hym.
