Psalms 148
1 Praise Yah! Praise Yahweh 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 army!
Laudate eum omnes angeli eius: laudate eum omnes virtutes eius.
3 Praise him, sun and moon! Praise him, all you shining stars!
Laudate eum sol et luna: laudate eum omnes stellæ, et lumen.
4 Praise him, you heavens of heavens, you waters that are above the heavens.
Laudate eum cæli cælorum: et aquæ omnes, quæ super cælos sunt,
5 Let them praise Yahweh’s name, for he commanded, and they were created.
laudent nomen Domini. Quia ipse dixit, et facta sunt: ipse mandavit, et creata sunt.
6 He has also established them forever and ever. He has made a decree which will not pass away.
Statuit ea in æternum, et in sæculum sæculi: præceptum posuit, et non præteribit.
7 Praise Yahweh from the earth, you great sea creatures, and all depths,
Laudate Dominum de terra, dracones, et omnes abyssi.
8 lightning and hail, snow and clouds, stormy wind, fulfilling his word,
Ignis, grando, nix, glacies, spiritus procellarum: quæ faciunt verbum eius:
9 mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars,
Montes, et omnes colles: ligna fructifera, et omnes cedri.
10 wild animals and all livestock, small creatures and flying birds,
Bestiæ, et universa pecora: serpentes, et volucres pennatæ:
11 kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all judges of the earth,
Reges terræ, et omnes populi: principes, et omnes iudices terræ.
12 both young men and maidens, old men and children.
Iuvenes, et virgines: senes cum iunioribus laudent nomen Domini:
13 Let them praise Yahweh’s name, for his name alone is exalted. His glory is above the earth and the heavens.
quia exaltatum est nomen eius solius.
14 He has lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints, even of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise Yah!
Confessio eius super cælum, et terram: et exaltavit cornu populi sui. Hymnus omnibus sanctis eius: filiis Israel, populo appropinquanti sibi. Alleluia.
