Psalms 148
1 Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord from heaven; praise him in the heights above!
alleluia laudate Dominum de caelis laudate eum in excelsis
2 Praise him, all his angels; praise him, all his heavenly armies!
laudate eum omnes angeli eius laudate eum omnes virtutes eius
3 Praise him, sun and moon! Praise him, all you shining stars!
laudate eum sol et luna laudate eum omnes stellae et lumen
4 Praise him, highest heavens, and the waters above the heavens!
laudate eum caeli caelorum et aqua quae super caelum est
5 Let them all praise the Lord and his nature, for he gave the order and they were created.
laudent nomen Domini quia ipse dixit et facta sunt ipse mandavit et creata sunt
6 He placed them in their positions forever and ever; he established a law that will never end.
statuit ea in saeculum et in saeculum saeculi praeceptum posuit et non praeteribit
7 Praise the Lord from the earth, and creatures from all the depths of the seas,
laudate Dominum de terra dracones et omnes abyssi
8 lightning and hail, snow and clouds, and stormy wind—everything that does as he commands.
ignis grando nix glacies spiritus procellarum quae faciunt verbum eius
9 Mountains and all the hills, fruit trees and all the trees of the forest,
montes et omnes colles ligna fructifera et omnes cedri
10 wild animals and all livestock, crawling animals and wild birds,
bestiae et universa pecora serpentes et volucres pinnatae
11 earthly kings and all peoples, leaders and rulers of the world,
reges terrae et omnes populi principes et omnes iudices terrae
12 young men and women, old people and children—
iuvenes et virgines senes cum iunioribus laudent nomen Domini
13 Let them all praise the Lord, for his reputation is unequalled; his glory is above anything on earth or in heaven.
quia exaltatum est nomen eius solius
14 He has given his people a source of strength, bringing praise to his faithful followers, the people of Israel who are dear to him. Praise the Lord!
confessio eius super caelum et terram et exaltabit cornu populi sui hymnus omnibus sanctis eius filiis Israhel populo adpropinquanti sibi
