Psalms 148

1 Praise the Lord from the heavens, praise him in the heights.

Alleluia. Laudate Dominum de cælis: laudate eum in excelsis.

2 Praise him, all his angels; praise him, all his hosts.

Laudate eum omnes angeli eius: laudate eum omnes virtutes eius.

3 Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all stars of light.

Laudate eum sol et luna: laudate eum omnes stellæ, et lumen.

4 Praise him, you highest heavens, and you waters above the heavens.

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

5 Let them praise the name of the Lord, for at his command they were made.

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

6 And he fixed them for ever and ever by a law which they dare not transgress.

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

7 Praise the Lord from the earth: you depths, with your monsters, all.

Laudate Dominum de terra, dracones, et omnes abyssi.

8 Fire, hail, snow and ice, and stormy wind doing his word.

Ignis, grando, nix, glacies, spiritus procellarum: quæ faciunt verbum eius:

9 All you mountains and hills, all you fruit trees and cedars,

Montes, et omnes colles: ligna fructifera, et omnes cedri.

10 all you wild beasts and tame, creeping things, birds on the wing.

Bestiæ, et universa pecora: serpentes, et volucres pennatæ:

11 All you kings and nations of earth; all you princes and judges of earth:

Reges terræ, et omnes populi: principes, et omnes iudices terræ.

12 young men and maidens together, old men and children together.

Iuvenes, et virgines: senes cum iunioribus laudent nomen Domini:

13 Let them praise the name of the Lord, for his name alone is exalted. Over heaven and earth is his glory.

quia exaltatum est nomen eius solius.

14 He has lifted his people to honour. Wherefore this chorus of praise from his saints, from Israel, the people who stand in his fellowship. Hallelujah.

Confessio eius super cælum, et terram: et exaltavit cornu populi sui. Hymnus omnibus sanctis eius: filiis Israel, populo appropinquanti sibi. Alleluia.
