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 And he established them for ever and to eternity: he gave a decree which none shall transgress.

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 vapor; thou storm-wind that fulfillest his word;

ignis, grando, nix, glacies, spiritus procellarum, quæ faciunt verbum ejus;

9 Ye mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars;

montes, et omnes colles; ligna fructifera, et omnes cedri;

10 Ye beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and winged birds;

bestiæ, et universa pecora; serpentes, et volucres pennatæ;

11 Ye kings of the earth, and all nations; ye princes, and all judges of the earth;

reges terræ et omnes populi; principes et omnes judices terræ;

12 Young men and also virgins; old men, together with boys: —

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 majesty is above earth and heaven.

quia exaltatum est nomen ejus solius.

14 He also exalteth the horn of his people, a praise unto all his pious servants, [even] unto 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.]
