Psalms 148

1Praise ye the Lord from the heavens: praise ye him in the high places.

2Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.

3Praise ye him, O sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars and light.

4Praise him, ye heavens of heavens: and let all the waters that are above the heavens

5Praise the name of the Lord. For he spoke, and they were made: he commanded, and they were created.

6He hath established them for ever, and for ages of ages: he hath made a decree, and it shall not pass away.

7Praise the Lord from the earth, ye dragons, and all ye deeps:

8Fire, hail, snow, ice, stormy winds which fulfill his word:

9Mountains and all hills, fruitful trees and all cedars:

10Beasts and all cattle: serpents and feathered fowls:

11Kings of the earth and all people: princes and all judges of the earth:

12Young men and maidens: let the old with the younger, praise the name of the Lord:

13For his name alone is exalted.

14The praise of him is above heaven and earth: and he hath exalted the horn of his people. A hymn to all his saints: to the children of Israel, a people approaching to him. Alleluia.

1Alleluja. [Laudate Dominum de cælis; laudate eum in excelsis.

2Laudate eum, omnes angeli ejus; laudate eum, omnes virtutes ejus.

3Laudate eum, sol et luna; laudate eum, omnes stellæ et lumen.

4Laudate eum, cæli cælorum; et aquæ omnes quæ super cælos sunt,

5laudent nomen Domini. Quia ipse dixit, et facta sunt; ipse mandavit, et creata sunt.

6Statuit ea in æternum, et in sæculum sæculi; præceptum posuit, et non præteribit.

7Laudate Dominum de terra, dracones et omnes abyssi;

8ignis, grando, nix, glacies, spiritus procellarum, quæ faciunt verbum ejus;

9montes, et omnes colles; ligna fructifera, et omnes cedri;

10bestiæ, et universa pecora; serpentes, et volucres pennatæ;

11reges terræ et omnes populi; principes et omnes judices terræ;

12juvenes et virgines; senes cum junioribus, laudent nomen Domini:

13quia exaltatum est nomen ejus solius.

14Confessio ejus super cælum et terram; et exaltavit cornu populi sui. Hymnus omnibus sanctis ejus; filiis Israël, populo appropinquanti sibi. Alleluja.]

1Alleluia. Praise the Lord from the heavens. Praise him on the heights.

2Praise him, all his Angels. Praise him, all his hosts.

3Praise him, sun and moon. Praise him, all stars and light.

4Praise him, heavens of the heavens. And let all the waters that are above the heavens

5praise the name of the Lord. For he spoke, and they became. He commanded, and they were created.

6He has stationed them in eternity, and for age after age. He has established a precept, and it will not pass away.

7Praise the Lord from the earth: you dragons and all deep places,

8fire, hail, snow, ice, windstorms, which do his word,

9mountains and all hills, fruitful trees and all cedars,

10wild beasts and all cattle, serpents and feathered flying things,

11kings of the earth and all peoples, leaders and all judges of the earth,

12young men and virgins. Let the older men with the younger men, praise the name of the Lord.

13For his name alone is exalted.

14Confession of him is beyond heaven and earth, and he has exalted the horn of his people. A hymn to all his holy ones, to the sons of Israel, to a people close to him. Alleluia.
