< Psalms 148 >
1 Hallelujah. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens; praise Him in the heights.
Alleluya. Ye of heuenes, herie the Lord; herie ye hym in hiye thingis.
2 Praise ye Him, all His angels; praise ye Him, all His hosts.
Alle hise aungels, herie ye hym; alle hise vertues, herye ye hym.
3 Praise ye Him, sun and moon; praise Him, all ye stars of light.
Sunne and moone, herie ye hym; alle sterris and liyt, herie ye hym.
4 Praise Him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that are above the heavens.
Heuenes of heuenes, herie ye hym; and the watris that ben aboue heuenes,
5 Let them praise the name of the LORD; for He commanded, and they were created.
herie ye the name of the Lord.
6 He hath also established them for ever and ever; He hath made a decree which shall not be transgressed.
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 Praise the LORD from the earth, ye sea-monsters, and all deeps;
Ye of erthe, herie ye the Lord; dragouns, and alle depthis of watris.
8 Fire and hail, snow and vapour, stormy wind, fulfilling His word;
Fier, hail, snow, iys, spiritis of tempestis; that don his word.
9 Mountains and all hills, fruitful trees and all cedars;
Mounteyns, and alle litle hillis; trees berynge fruyt, and alle cedris.
10 Beasts and all cattle, creeping things and winged fowl;
Wielde beestis, and alle tame beestis; serpentis, and fetherid briddis.
11 Kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all judges of the earth;
The kingis of erthe, and alle puplis; the princis, and alle iugis of erthe.
12 Both young men and maidens, old men and children;
Yonge men, and virgyns, elde men with yongere, herie ye the name of the Lord;
13 Let them praise the name of the LORD, for His name alone is exalted; His glory is above the earth and heaven.
for the name of hym aloone is enhaunsid.
14 And He hath lifted up a horn for His people, a praise for all His saints, even for the children of Israel, a people near unto Him. Hallelujah.
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.
