Psalms 148

1 Give praise to the Lord. Let the Lord be praised from the heavens: give him praise in the skies.

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

2 Give praise to him, all you his angels: give praise to him, all his armies.

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

3 Give praise to him, you sun and moon: give praise to him, all you stars of light.

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

4 Give praise to him, you highest heavens, and you waters which are over the heavens.

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

5 Let them give praise to the name of the Lord: for he gave the order, and they were made.

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

6 He has put them in their places for ever; he has given them their limits which may not be broken.

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

7 Give praise to the Lord from the earth, you great sea-beasts, and deep places:

Laudate Dominum de terra, dracones et omnes abyssi;

8 Fire and rain of ice, snow and mists; storm-wind, doing his word:

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

9 Mountains and all hills; fruit-trees and all trees of the mountains:

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

10 Beasts and all cattle; insects and winged birds:

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

11 Kings of the earth, and all peoples; rulers and all judges of the earth:

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

12 Young men and virgins; old men and children:

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

13 Let them give glory to the name of the Lord: for his name only is to be praised: his kingdom is over the earth and the heaven.

quia exaltatum est nomen ejus solius.

14 He has put on high the horn of his people, for the praise of all his saints; even the children of Israel, a people which is near to him. Let the Lord be praised.

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