Psalms 148

1 Alleluia, [a Psalm] of Aggaeus and Zacharias. Praise you the Lord from the heavens: praise him in the highest.

Alleluja. Laudate Dominum de cælis; laudate eum in excelsis.

2 Praise you him, all his angels: praise you him, all his hosts.

Laudate eum, omnes angeli ejus; laudate eum, omnes virtutes ejus.

3 Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all you stars and light.

Laudate eum, sol et luna; laudate eum, omnes stellæ et lumen.

4 Praise him, you heavens of heavens, and the water that is 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 spoke, and they were made; he commanded, and they were created.

laudent nomen Domini. Quia ipse dixit, et facta sunt; ipse mandavit, et creata sunt.

6 He has established them for ever, even for ever and ever: he has made an ordinance, and it shall not pass away.

Statuit ea in æternum, et in sæculum sæculi; præceptum posuit, et non præteribit.

7 Praise the Lord from the earth, you serpents, and all deeps.

Laudate Dominum de terra, dracones et omnes abyssi;

8 Fire, hail, snow, ice, stormy wind; the things that perform 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 wild beasts, and all cattle; reptiles, and winged birds:

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 young men and virgins, old men with youths:

juvenes et virgines; senes cum junioribus, laudent nomen Domini:

13 let them praise the name of the Lord: for his name only is exalted; his praise is above the earth and heaven,

quia exaltatum est nomen ejus solius.

14 and he shall exalt the horn of his people, [there is] a hymn for all his saints, [even] of the children of Israel, a people who draw near to him.

Confessio ejus super cælum et terram; et exaltavit cornu populi sui. Hymnus omnibus sanctis ejus; filiis Israël, populo appropinquanti sibi. Alleluja.
