Psalms 148
1 Praise Yahweh. Praise Yahweh, you in the heavens; praise him, you in the heights.
Alleluia. Laudate Dominum de cælis: laudate eum in excelsis.
2 Praise him, all his angels; praise him, all his hosts.
Laudate eum omnes angeli eius: laudate eum omnes virtutes eius.
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 eius:
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 iudices terræ.
12 both young men and young women, elderly and children.
Iuvenes, et virgines: senes cum iunioribus 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 eius 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 eius super cælum, et terram: et exaltavit cornu populi sui. Hymnus omnibus sanctis eius: filiis Israel, populo appropinquanti sibi. Alleluia.
