< Psalms 148 >
1 Alleluia, [a Psalm] of Aggaeus and Zacharias. Praise you the Lord from the heavens: praise him in the highest.
alleluia laudate Dominum de caelis laudate eum in excelsis
2 Praise you him, all his angels: praise you him, all his hosts.
laudate eum omnes angeli eius laudate eum omnes virtutes eius
3 Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all you stars and light.
laudate eum sol et luna laudate eum omnes stellae et lumen
4 Praise him, you heavens of heavens, and the water that is above the heavens.
laudate eum caeli caelorum et aqua quae super caelum est
5 Let them praise the name of the Lord: for he spoke, and they were made; he commanded, and they were created.
laudent nomen Domini quia ipse dixit et facta sunt ipse mandavit et creata sunt
6 He has established them for ever, even for ever and ever: he has made an ordinance, and it shall not pass away.
statuit ea in saeculum et in saeculum saeculi praeceptum posuit et non praeteribit
7 Praise the Lord from the earth, you serpents, and all deeps.
laudate Dominum de terra dracones et omnes abyssi
8 Fire, hail, snow, ice, stormy wind; the things that perform his word.
ignis grando nix glacies spiritus procellarum quae faciunt verbum eius
9 Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars:
montes et omnes colles ligna fructifera et omnes cedri
10 wild beasts, and all cattle; reptiles, and winged birds:
bestiae et universa pecora serpentes et volucres pinnatae
11 kings of the earth, and all peoples; princes, and all judges of the earth:
reges terrae et omnes populi principes et omnes iudices terrae
12 young men and virgins, old men with youths:
iuvenes et virgines senes cum iunioribus laudent nomen Domini
13 let them praise the name of the Lord: for his name only is exalted; his praise is above the earth and heaven,
quia exaltatum est nomen eius solius
14 and he shall exalt the horn of his people, [there is] a hymn for all his saints, [even] of the children of Israel, a people who draw near to him.
confessio eius super caelum et terram et exaltabit cornu populi sui hymnus omnibus sanctis eius filiis Israhel populo adpropinquanti sibi
