Psalms 148
1 Alleluya. Ye of heuenes, herie the Lord; herie ye hym in hiye thingis.
Praise ye the LORD! Praise the LORD from the heavens! Praise him in the heights!
2 Alle hise aungels, herie ye hym; alle hise vertues, herye ye hym.
Praise him, all ye his angels! Praise him, all ye his hosts!

Praise ye him, sun and moon! Praise him, all ye stars of light!
4 Heuenes of heuenes, herie ye hym; and the watris that ben aboue heuenes,
Praise him, ye heavens of heavens! Ye waters, that are above the heavens!
5 herie ye the name of the Lord.
Let them praise the name of the LORD; For he commanded, and they were created.
6 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.
He hath also established them for ever; He hath given them a law, and they transgress it not.
7 Ye of erthe, herie ye the Lord; dragouns, and alle depthis of watris.
Praise the LORD from the earth, Ye sea-monsters, and all deeps!
8 Fier, hail, snow, iys, spiritis of tempestis; that don his word.
Fire and hail, snow and vapor; Thou tempest, that fulfillest his word!
9 Mounteyns, and alle litle hillis; trees berynge fruyt, and alle cedris.
Ye mountains, and all hills! Fruit-trees, and all cedars!
10 Wielde beestis, and alle tame beestis; serpentis, and fetherid briddis.
Ye wild beasts, and all cattle! Ye creeping things, and winged birds!
11 The kingis of erthe, and alle puplis; the princis, and alle iugis of erthe.
Ye kings, and all peoples, Princes, and all judges of the earth!
12 Yonge men, and virgyns, elde men with yongere, herie ye the name of the Lord;
Young men and maidens, Old men and children!
13 for the name of hym aloone is enhaunsid.
Let them praise the name of the LORD! For his name alone is exalted; His glory is above the earth and the heavens.
14 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.
He exalteth the horn of his people, The glory of all his godly ones, Of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise ye the LORD!
