Psalms 148
1 Praise Yahweh. Praise Yahweh, you in the heavens; praise him, you 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 hosts.
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, highest heaven and you waters that are above the sky.
Heuenes of heuenes, herie ye hym; and the watris that ben aboue heuenes,
5 Let them praise the name of Yahweh, for he gave the command, and they were created.
herie ye the name of the Lord.
6 He has also established them forever and ever; he issued a decree that will never change.
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 him from the earth, you sea monsters and all ocean depths,
Ye of erthe, herie ye the Lord; dragouns, and alle depthis of watris.
8 fire and hail, snow and clouds, stormy wind fulfilling his word.
Fier, hail, snow, iys, spiritis of tempestis; that don his word.
9 Praise him, mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars,
Mounteyns, and alle litle hillis; trees berynge fruyt, and alle cedris.
10 animals wild and tame, creatures that crawl and birds.
Wielde beestis, and alle tame beestis; serpentis, and fetherid briddis.
11 Praise Yahweh, kings of the earth and all nations, princes and all who govern on the earth,
The kingis of erthe, and alle puplis; the princis, and alle iugis of erthe.
12 both young men and young women, elderly and children.
Yonge men, and virgyns, elde men with yongere, herie ye the name of the Lord;
13 Let them all praise the name of Yahweh, for his name alone is exalted and his glory extends over the earth and the heavens.
for the name of hym aloone is enhaunsid.
14 He has lifted up the horn of his people for praise from all his faithful ones, the Israelites, the people near to him. Praise Yahweh.
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.
