Psalms 148
1 Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD from the heavens! Praise him in the heights!
alleluia laudate Dominum de caelis 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 stellae et lumen
4 Praise him, you heavens of heavens, you waters that are above the heavens.
laudate eum caeli caelorum et aqua quae super caelum est
5 Let them praise the LORD’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 saeculum et in saeculum saeculi praeceptum posuit et non praeteribit
7 Praise the LORD 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 quae 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,
bestiae et universa pecora serpentes et volucres pinnatae
11 kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all judges of the earth,
reges terrae et omnes populi principes et omnes iudices terrae
12 both young men and maidens, old men and children.
iuvenes et virgines senes cum iunioribus laudent nomen Domini
13 Let them praise the LORD’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 the LORD!
confessio eius super caelum et terram et exaltabit cornu populi sui hymnus omnibus sanctis eius filiis Israhel populo adpropinquanti sibi
