< Psalms 148 >
1 Praise JAH. Praise YHWH from the heavens. Praise him in the heights.
Alleluya. Ye of heuenes, herie the Lord; herie ye hym in hiye thingis.
2 Praise him, all his angels. Praise him, all his army.
Alle hise aungels, herie ye hym; alle hise vertues, herye ye hym.
3 Praise him, sun and moon. Praise him, all you shining stars.
Sunne and moone, herie ye hym; alle sterris and liyt, herie ye hym.
4 Praise him, you heavens of heavens, You waters that are above the heavens.
Heuenes of heuenes, herie ye hym; and the watris that ben aboue heuenes,
5 Let them praise the name of YHWH, For he commanded, and they were created.
herie ye the name of the Lord.
6 He has also established them forever and ever. He has made a decree which will not pass away.
For he seide, and thingis weren maad; he comaundide, and thingis weren maad of nouyt. He ordeynede tho thingis in to the world, and in to the world of world; he settide a comaundement, and it schal not passe.
7 Praise YHWH from the earth, you great sea creatures, and all depths.
Ye of erthe, herie ye the Lord; dragouns, and alle depthis of watris.
8 Lightning and hail, snow and clouds; stormy wind, fulfilling his word;
Fier, hail, snow, iys, spiritis of tempestis; that don his word.
9 mountains and all hills; fruit trees and all cedars;
Mounteyns, and alle litle hillis; trees berynge fruyt, and alle cedris.
10 wild animals and all livestock; small creatures and flying birds;
Wielde beestis, and alle tame beestis; serpentis, and fetherid briddis.
11 kings of the earth and all peoples; princes and all judges of the earth;
The kingis of erthe, and alle puplis; the princis, and alle iugis of erthe.
12 both young men and maidens; old men and children:
Yonge men, and virgyns, elde men with yongere, herie ye the name of the Lord;
13 let them praise the name of YHWH, for his name alone is exalted. His glory is above the earth and the heavens.
for the name of hym aloone is enhaunsid.
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 JAH.
His knouleching be on heuene and erthe; and he hath enhaunsid the horn of his puple. An ympne be to alle hise seyntis; to the children of Israel, to a puple neiyynge to hym.
