< Psalms 148 >
1 Praise ye Jah! Praise ye Jehovah from the heavens, Praise ye Him in high places.
Alleluja. Laudate Dominum de cælis; laudate eum in excelsis.
2 Praise ye Him, all His messengers, Praise ye Him, all His hosts.
Laudate eum, omnes angeli ejus; laudate eum, omnes virtutes ejus.
3 Praise ye Him, sun and moon, Praise ye Him, all stars of light.
Laudate eum, sol et luna; laudate eum, omnes stellæ et lumen.
4 Praise ye Him, heavens of heavens, And ye waters that are above the heavens.
Laudate eum, cæli cælorum; et aquæ omnes quæ super cælos sunt,
5 They do praise the name of Jehovah, For He commanded, and they were created.
laudent nomen Domini. Quia ipse dixit, et facta sunt; ipse mandavit, et creata sunt.
6 And He establisheth them for ever to the age, A statute He gave, and they pass not over.
Statuit ea in æternum, et in sæculum sæculi; præceptum posuit, et non præteribit.
7 Praise ye Jehovah from the earth, Dragons and all deeps,
Laudate Dominum de terra, dracones et omnes abyssi;
8 Fire and hail, snow and vapour, Whirlwind doing His word;
ignis, grando, nix, glacies, spiritus procellarum, quæ faciunt verbum ejus;
9 The mountains and all heights, Fruit tree, and all cedars,
montes, et omnes colles; ligna fructifera, et omnes cedri;
10 The wild beast, and all cattle, Creeping thing, and winged bird,
bestiæ, et universa pecora; serpentes, et volucres pennatæ;
11 Kings of earth, and all peoples, Chiefs, and all judges of earth,
reges terræ et omnes populi; principes et omnes judices terræ;
12 Young men, and also maidens, Aged men, with youths,
juvenes et virgines; senes cum junioribus, laudent nomen Domini:
13 They praise the name of Jehovah, For His name alone hath been set on high, His honour [is] above earth and heavens.
quia exaltatum est nomen ejus solius.
14 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!
Confessio ejus super cælum et terram; et exaltavit cornu populi sui. Hymnus omnibus sanctis ejus; filiis Israël, populo appropinquanti sibi. Alleluja.
