Psalms 148
1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens: praise him in the heights.
Alleluya. Ye of heuenes, herie the Lord; herie ye hym in hiye thingis.
2 Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.
Alle hise aungels, herie ye hym; alle hise vertues, herye ye hym.
3 Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light.
Sunne and moone, herie ye hym; alle sterris and liyt, herie ye hym.
4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that are above the heavens.
Heuenes of heuenes, herie ye hym; and the watris that ben aboue heuenes,
5 Let them praise the name of the LORD: for he commanded, and they were created.
herie ye the name of the Lord.
6 He hath also established them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree which shall not pass.
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.
7 Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps:
Ye of erthe, herie ye the Lord; dragouns, and alle depthis of watris.
8 Fire, and hail; snow, and vapours; stormy wind fulfilling his word:
Fier, hail, snow, iys, spiritis of tempestis; that don his word.
9 Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars:
Mounteyns, and alle litle hillis; trees berynge fruyt, and alle cedris.
10 Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying fowl:
Wielde beestis, and alle tame beestis; serpentis, and fetherid briddis.
11 Kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges of the earth:
The kingis of erthe, and alle puplis; the princis, and alle iugis of erthe.
12 Both young men, and maidens; old men, and children:
Yonge men, and virgyns, elde men with yongere, herie ye the name of the Lord;
13 Let them praise the name of the LORD: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven.
for the name of hym aloone is enhaunsid.
14 He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise ye the LORD.
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.
