Psalms 148
1 Praise the LORD. Praise the LORD from the heavens. Praise him in the heights.
Alleluja. Laudate Dominum de cælis; laudate eum in excelsis.
2 Praise him, all his angels. Praise him, all his army.
Laudate eum, omnes angeli ejus; laudate eum, omnes virtutes ejus.
3 Praise him, sun and moon. Praise him, all you shining stars.
Laudate eum, sol et luna; laudate eum, omnes stellæ et lumen.
4 Praise him, you heavens of heavens, You 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 has also established them forever and ever. He has made a decree which will not pass away.
Statuit ea in æternum, et in sæculum sæculi; præceptum posuit, et non præteribit.
7 Praise the LORD from the earth, you great sea creatures, and all depths.
Laudate Dominum de terra, dracones et omnes abyssi;
8 Lightning and hail, snow and clouds; stormy wind, fulfilling his word;
ignis, grando, nix, glacies, spiritus procellarum, quæ faciunt verbum ejus;
9 mountains and all hills; fruit trees and all cedars;
montes, et omnes colles; ligna fructifera, et omnes cedri;
10 wild animals and all livestock; small creatures and flying 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 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 the heavens.
quia exaltatum est nomen ejus solius.
14 He has lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his faithful ones; even of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise the LORD.
Confessio ejus super cælum et terram; et exaltavit cornu populi sui. Hymnus omnibus sanctis ejus; filiis Israël, populo appropinquanti sibi. Alleluja.
