Psalms 148
1 Alleluia. Praise the Lord from the heavens. Praise him on the heights.
Alleluia. Laudate Dominum de cælis: laudate eum in excelsis.
2 Praise him, all his Angels. Praise him, all his hosts.
Laudate eum omnes angeli eius: laudate eum omnes virtutes eius.
3 Praise him, sun and moon. Praise him, all stars and light.
Laudate eum sol et luna: laudate eum omnes stellæ, et lumen.
4 Praise him, heavens of the heavens. And let all the waters that are above the heavens
Laudate eum cæli cælorum: et aquæ omnes, quæ super cælos sunt,
5 praise the name of the Lord. For he spoke, and they became. He commanded, and they were created.
laudent nomen Domini. Quia ipse dixit, et facta sunt: ipse mandavit, et creata sunt.
6 He has stationed them in eternity, and for age after age. He has established a precept, and it will not pass away.
Statuit ea in æternum, et in sæculum sæculi: præceptum posuit, et non præteribit.
7 Praise the Lord from the earth: you dragons and all deep places,
Laudate Dominum de terra, dracones, et omnes abyssi.
8 fire, hail, snow, ice, windstorms, which do his word,
Ignis, grando, nix, glacies, spiritus procellarum: quæ 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, serpents and feathered flying things,
Bestiæ, et universa pecora: serpentes, et volucres pennatæ:
11 kings of the earth and all peoples, leaders and all judges of the earth,
Reges terræ, et omnes populi: principes, et omnes iudices terræ.
12 young men and virgins. Let the older men with the younger men, praise the name of the Lord.
Iuvenes, et virgines: senes cum iunioribus laudent nomen Domini:
13 For his name alone is exalted.
quia exaltatum est nomen eius solius.
14 Confession of him is beyond heaven and earth, and he has exalted the horn of his people. A hymn to all his holy ones, to the sons of Israel, to a people close to him. Alleluia.
Confessio eius super cælum, et terram: et exaltavit cornu populi sui. Hymnus omnibus sanctis eius: filiis Israel, populo appropinquanti sibi. Alleluia.
