Psalms 148
1 Praise ye the Lord. Praise ye the Lord from the heauen: prayse ye him in the high places.
Alleluya. Ye of heuenes, herie the Lord; herie ye hym in hiye thingis.
2 Prayse ye him, all ye his Angels: praise him, all his armie.
Alle hise aungels, herie ye hym; alle hise vertues, herye ye hym.
3 Prayse ye him, sunne and moone: prayse ye him all bright starres.
Sunne and moone, herie ye hym; alle sterris and liyt, herie ye hym.
4 Prayse ye him, heauens of heauens, and waters, that be aboue the heauens.
Heuenes of heuenes, herie ye hym; and the watris that ben aboue heuenes,
5 Let them prayse the Name of the Lord: for he commanded, and they were created.
herie ye the name of the Lord.
6 And he hath established them for euer and euer: he hath made an ordinance, which shall not passe.
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 Prayse ye the Lord from the earth, ye dragons and all depths:
Ye of erthe, herie ye the Lord; dragouns, and alle depthis of watris.
8 Fire and hayle, snowe and vapours, stormie winde, which execute his worde:
Fier, hail, snow, iys, spiritis of tempestis; that don his word.
9 Mountaines and all hils, fruitfull trees and all ceders:
Mounteyns, and alle litle hillis; trees berynge fruyt, and alle cedris.
10 Beasts and all cattell, creeping things and fethered foules:
Wielde beestis, and alle tame beestis; serpentis, and fetherid briddis.
11 Kings of the earth and all people, princes and all iudges of the worlde:
The kingis of erthe, and alle puplis; the princis, and alle iugis of erthe.
12 Yong men and maidens, also olde men and children:
Yonge men, and virgyns, elde men with yongere, herie ye the name of the Lord;
13 Let them prayse the Name of the Lord: for his Name onely is to be exalted, and his prayse aboue the earth and the heauens.
for the name of hym aloone is enhaunsid.
14 For he hath exalted the horne of his people, which is a prayse for all his Saintes, euen for the children of Israel, a people that is neere vnto him. Prayse ye the Lord.
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.
