Psalms 148

1 Alleluya. Ye of heuenes, herie the Lord; herie ye hym in hiye thingis.

Praise ye Jah! Praise ye Jehovah from the heavens, Praise ye Him in high places.

2 Alle hise aungels, herie ye hym; alle hise vertues, herye ye hym.

Praise ye Him, all His messengers, Praise ye Him, all His hosts.

3 Sunne and moone, herie ye hym; alle sterris and liyt, herie ye hym.

Praise ye Him, sun and moon, Praise ye Him, all stars of light.

4 Heuenes of heuenes, herie ye hym; and the watris that ben aboue heuenes,

Praise ye Him, heavens of heavens, And ye waters that are above the heavens.

5 herie ye the name of the Lord.

They do praise the name of Jehovah, 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.

And He establisheth them for ever to the age, A statute He gave, and they pass not over.

7 Ye of erthe, herie ye the Lord; dragouns, and alle depthis of watris.

Praise ye Jehovah from the earth, Dragons and all deeps,

8 Fier, hail, snow, iys, spiritis of tempestis; that don his word.

Fire and hail, snow and vapour, Whirlwind doing His word;

9 Mounteyns, and alle litle hillis; trees berynge fruyt, and alle cedris.

The mountains and all heights, Fruit tree, and all cedars,

10 Wielde beestis, and alle tame beestis; serpentis, and fetherid briddis.

The wild beast, and all cattle, Creeping thing, and winged bird,

11 The kingis of erthe, and alle puplis; the princis, and alle iugis of erthe.

Kings of earth, and all peoples, Chiefs, and all judges of earth,

12 Yonge men, and virgyns, elde men with yongere, herie ye the name of the Lord;

Young men, and also maidens, Aged men, with youths,

13 for the name of hym aloone is enhaunsid.

They praise the name of Jehovah, For His name alone hath been set on high, His honour [is] above earth and 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.

And He exalteth the horn of His people, The praise of all His saints, Of the sons of Israel, a people near Him. Praise ye Jah!
