148 Alleluja. Laudate Dominum de caelis; laudate eum in excelsis.

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

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

Laudate eum, caeli caelorum; et aquae omnes quae super caelos sunt,

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

Statuit ea in aeternum, et in saeculum saeculi; praeceptum posuit, et non praeteribit.

Laudate Dominum de terra, dracones et omnes abyssi;

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

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

10 bestiae, et universa pecora; serpentes, et volucres pennatae;

11 reges terrae et omnes populi; principes et omnes judices terrae;

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

13 quia exaltatum est nomen ejus solius.

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

Psalm 148

Praise the Lord.[a](A)

Praise the Lord from the heavens;(B)
    praise him in the heights above.
Praise him, all his angels;(C)
    praise him, all his heavenly hosts.(D)
Praise him, sun(E) and moon;
    praise him, all you shining stars.
Praise him, you highest heavens(F)
    and you waters above the skies.(G)

Let them praise the name(H) of the Lord,
    for at his command(I) they were created,
and he established them for ever and ever—
    he issued a decree(J) that will never pass away.

Praise the Lord(K) from the earth,
    you great sea creatures(L) and all ocean depths,(M)
lightning and hail,(N) snow and clouds,
    stormy winds that do his bidding,(O)
you mountains and all hills,(P)
    fruit trees and all cedars,
10 wild animals(Q) and all cattle,
    small creatures and flying birds,
11 kings(R) of the earth and all nations,
    you princes and all rulers on earth,
12 young men and women,
    old men and children.

13 Let them praise the name of the Lord,(S)
    for his name alone is exalted;
    his splendor(T) is above the earth and the heavens.(U)
14 And he has raised up for his people a horn,[b](V)
    the praise(W) of all his faithful servants,(X)
    of Israel, the people close to his heart.(Y)

Praise the Lord.
