Psalms 148
1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens: praise him in the heights.
Alleluja. [Laudate Dominum de cælis; laudate eum in excelsis.
2 Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.
Laudate eum, omnes angeli ejus; laudate eum, omnes virtutes ejus.
3 Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light.
Laudate eum, sol et luna; laudate eum, omnes stellæ et lumen.
4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye 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 hath also established them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree which shall not pass.
Statuit ea in æternum, et in sæculum sæculi; præceptum posuit, et non præteribit.
7 Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps:
Laudate Dominum de terra, dracones et omnes abyssi;
8 Fire, and hail; snow, and vapours; stormy wind fulfilling his word:
ignis, grando, nix, glacies, spiritus procellarum, quæ faciunt verbum ejus;
9 Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars:
montes, et omnes colles; ligna fructifera, et omnes cedri;
10 Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying fowl:
bestiæ, et universa pecora; serpentes, et volucres pennatæ;
11 Kings of the earth, and all people; 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 excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven.
quia exaltatum est nomen ejus solius.
14 He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise ye the LORD.
Confessio ejus super cælum et terram; et exaltavit cornu populi sui. Hymnus omnibus sanctis ejus; filiis Israël, populo appropinquanti sibi. Alleluja.]
