< Psalms 148 >
1 Hallelujah. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens; praise Him in the heights.
Alleluja. [Laudate Dominum de cælis; laudate eum in excelsis.
2 Praise ye Him, all His angels; praise ye Him, all His hosts.
Laudate eum, omnes angeli ejus; laudate eum, omnes virtutes ejus.
3 Praise ye Him, sun and moon; praise Him, all ye stars of light.
Laudate eum, sol et luna; laudate eum, omnes stellæ et lumen.
4 Praise Him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that are above the heavens.
Laudate eum, cæli cælorum; et aquæ omnes quæ super cælos sunt,
5 Let them praise the name of the LORD; for He commanded, and they were created.
laudent nomen Domini. Quia ipse dixit, et facta sunt; ipse mandavit, et creata sunt.
6 He hath also established them for ever and ever; He hath made a decree which shall not be transgressed.
Statuit ea in æternum, et in sæculum sæculi; præceptum posuit, et non præteribit.
7 Praise the LORD from the earth, ye sea-monsters, and all deeps;
Laudate Dominum de terra, dracones et omnes abyssi;
8 Fire and hail, snow and vapour, stormy wind, fulfilling His word;
ignis, grando, nix, glacies, spiritus procellarum, quæ faciunt verbum ejus;
9 Mountains and all hills, fruitful trees and all cedars;
montes, et omnes colles; ligna fructifera, et omnes cedri;
10 Beasts and all cattle, creeping things and winged fowl;
bestiæ, et universa pecora; serpentes, et volucres pennatæ;
11 Kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all judges of the earth;
reges terræ et omnes populi; principes et omnes judices terræ;
12 Both young men and maidens, old men and children;
juvenes et virgines; senes cum junioribus, laudent nomen Domini:
13 Let them praise the name of the LORD, for His name alone is exalted; His glory is above the earth and heaven.
quia exaltatum est nomen ejus solius.
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.
Confessio ejus super cælum et terram; et exaltavit cornu populi sui. Hymnus omnibus sanctis ejus; filiis Israël, populo appropinquanti sibi. Alleluja.]
