Psalms 148
1 Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD from the heavens! Praise him in the heights!
Alleluia. Laudate Dominum de caelis: laudate eum in excelsis.
2 Praise him, all his angels! Praise him, all his army!
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 stellae, et lumen.
4 Praise him, you heavens of heavens, you waters that are above the heavens.
Laudate eum caeli caelorum: et aquae omnes, quae super caelos sunt,
5 Let them praise the LORD’s name, for he commanded, 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 has made a decree which will not pass away.
Statuit ea in aeternum, et in saeculum saeculi: praeceptum posuit, et non praeteribit.
7 Praise the LORD from the earth, you great sea creatures, and all depths,
Laudate Dominum de terra, dracones, et omnes abyssi.
8 lightning and hail, snow and clouds, stormy wind, fulfilling his word,
Ignis, grando, nix, glacies, spiritus procellarum: quae faciunt verbum eius:
9 mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars,
Montes, et omnes colles: ligna fructifera, et omnes cedri.
10 wild animals and all livestock, small creatures and flying birds,
Bestiae, et universa pecora: serpentes, et volucres pennatae:
11 kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all judges of the earth,
Reges terrae, et omnes populi: principes, et omnes iudices terrae.
12 both young men and maidens, old men and children.
Iuvenes, et virgines: senes cum iunioribus laudent nomen Domini:
13 Let them praise the LORD’s name, for his name alone is exalted. His glory is above the earth and the heavens.
quia exaltatum est nomen eius solius.
14 He has lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints, even of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise the LORD!
Confessio eius super caelum, et terram: et exaltavit cornu populi sui. Hymnus omnibus sanctis eius: filiis Israel, populo appropinquanti sibi. Alleluia.
