Psalms 148
1 Hallelujah. Praise ye the Lord from the heavens: praise him in the heights.
Alleluia. 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 eius: laudate eum omnes virtutes eius.
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 eius:
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 iudices terræ.
12 Young men and also virgins; old men, together with boys: —
Iuvenes, et virgines: senes cum iunioribus 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 eius 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 eius super cælum, et terram: et exaltavit cornu populi sui. Hymnus omnibus sanctis eius: filiis Israel, populo appropinquanti sibi. Alleluia.
