Psalms 148
1 Praise Yahweh. Praise Yahweh, you in the heavens; praise him, you in the heights.
Alleluja. [Laudate Dominum de cælis; laudate eum in excelsis.
2 Praise him, all his angels; praise him, all his hosts.
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, highest heaven and you waters that are above the sky.
Laudate eum, cæli cælorum; et aquæ omnes quæ super cælos sunt,
5 Let them praise the name of Yahweh, for he gave the command, 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 issued a decree that will never change.
Statuit ea in æternum, et in sæculum sæculi; præceptum posuit, et non præteribit.
7 Praise him from the earth, you sea monsters and all ocean depths,
Laudate Dominum de terra, dracones et omnes abyssi;
8 fire and hail, snow and clouds, stormy wind fulfilling his word.
ignis, grando, nix, glacies, spiritus procellarum, quæ faciunt verbum ejus;
9 Praise him, mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars,
montes, et omnes colles; ligna fructifera, et omnes cedri;
10 animals wild and tame, creatures that crawl and birds.
bestiæ, et universa pecora; serpentes, et volucres pennatæ;
11 Praise Yahweh, kings of the earth and all nations, princes and all who govern on the earth,
reges terræ et omnes populi; principes et omnes judices terræ;
12 both young men and young women, elderly and children.
juvenes et virgines; senes cum junioribus, laudent nomen Domini:
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.
quia exaltatum est nomen ejus solius.
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.
Confessio ejus super cælum et terram; et exaltavit cornu populi sui. Hymnus omnibus sanctis ejus; filiis Israël, populo appropinquanti sibi. Alleluja.]
